Question

One side of a parallelogram is 4.8 cm and the other side is halfof this side.
Find the perimeter of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ,

Side 1 = 4.8cm

Side 2 = 1/2 of 4.8 = 2.4cm

Thus,

Peri(p) = 2l + 2b

or , 2×4.8 + 2× 2.4

or , 9.6+4.8

or , 14.4cm (Ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, value of perimeter of parallelogram will be 14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the perimeter of parallelogram.

As per question,

One side of parallelogram = 4.8 cm

Other side is half of the first side.

So, value of other side will be $\frac{4.8}{2} = 2.4\:cm$

As we know that,

• Parallelogram is the quadrilateral whose opposite sides are equal and parallel.

• None of angle of parallelogram is of right angle.

The perimeter of parallelogram can be determined by using formula -

$Perimeter = 2 (a+b)$, where a and b are adjacent sides of parallelogram.

So, for determining the perimeter of parallelogram we will put the value of sides in above formula,

Thus we will get,

$Perimeter = 2(4.8+2.4) = 2\times 7.2 = 14.4\:cm$
