find the perimeter and area of a parallegram the height is 6in and the area is 14inches
 
p= 6(2) +14(2)
 
p= 12+28
 
p=40
 
A= 6 (14)
 
A= 84 square inches or 7 square feet

Can you verify the statement of the question?  You are being asked to find the area and perimeter, but you also said the area is 14 inches.
 
Is 14 inches the length of the base?

Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, there are 12^2 = 144 inches^2 in 1 foot^2.
