Muhammad is correct. To get the perimeter, we need all 4 sides, or at least the angles of the parallelogram. As for the area:
You are correct in square inches (6*14 = 84 square inches), but you did not convert it to square feet correctly.
84 square inches = 84/144 square feet
J.T.
The perimeter cannot be determined since the measure of every side of the parallelogram isn't given.
