Question

Given that the length of PR = 10 cm and SQ = 24 cm, what is the perimeter of the parallelogram PQRS? *

Answer 1

Answer:

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rhombus be denoted by the point O

PO=  

2

PR

​

=12cm  

QO=  

2

QS

​

=9cm  

PQ=  

PO  

2

+OQ  

2

 

​

=  

12  

2

+9  

2

 

​

 

    =  

144+81

​

=  

225

​

=15.cm  

∴  side = 15 cm

∴ Perimeter = 4(side) = 60 cm.
