Answer:
length = 13 cm
breadth = 9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of parallelogram = 2(l + b) = 44
l + b = 44/2 = 22
l + b = 22 equ (1)
l = 2b - 5
substitute l in equ (1)
2b - 5 + b = 22
3b - 5 = 22
3b = 22 + 5
3b = 27
b = 27/3 = 9
length = 2b - 5
= 2(9) - 5
= 18 - 5
= 13
length = 13 cm
breadth = 9 cm
