What is the area and perimeter of a parallelogram with sides of length of 4.5 feet and 9 feet and a distance between the 9-foot sides of 0.8 foot?

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula ( \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} ). Here, with a base of 9 feet and a height of 0.8 feet, the area is ( 9 \times 0.8 = 7.2 ) square feet. The perimeter is calculated using the formula ( \text{Perimeter} = 2(\text{base} + \text{side}) ), resulting in ( 2(9 + 4.5) = 27 ) feet.
