The image contains a parallelogram with the following side lengths:

- Two sides are given as 5.5 inches and 7.7 inches.
- The other two sides are 14.4 inches and 4.4 inches.

### To find the perimeter \( P \) of the parallelogram:
The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all its sides, and since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, we can use:

\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length of one pair of opposite sides}) + 2 \times (\text{length of the other pair of opposite sides})
\]

Substitute the side lengths:

\[
P = 2 \times 5.5 + 2 \times 7.7
\]

Let's calculate this:

\[
P = 2 \times 5.5 = 11
\]
\[
P = 2 \times 7.7 = 15.4
\]
\[
P = 11 + 15.4 = 26.4 \, \text{inches}
\]

The correct perimeter of this parallelogram is 26.4 inches, though the image displays the result circled as 52.8. This might be a mistake because the perimeter should add both sets of sides twice.
