Question

10. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 32 cm.
If the longer side measures 9.5 cm, what is
the measure of the short​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the parallelogram be ABCD

then given that AB + BC + CD + DA = 32 ----------{1}

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

=> AB = CD and BC = DA

modifying {1}

2AB + 2 BC = 32

2 * 9.5 + 2 * BC = 32

BC = 6.5 cm
