Perimeter & Area Puzzles To find the perimeter of any triangle or quadrilateral, add the side lengths. For rectangles, you can use the formula 2 times length plus 2 times width, or 2l + 2w. The formula for finding the area of all parallelograms, including rectangles is base × height, or bh. The formula for finding the area of all triangles is 1⁄2 base × height, or 1⁄2 bh.
