Question

perimeter of parallelogram is 36 if the small size is 8 cm long find the measure of the longer side​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let abcd be the parallelogram

ad = bc =8 cm ( as opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)

let ab = cd = 2x

36cm - 16 cm = 20 cm

2x = 20 cm

x=10 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the longer side be x

Perimeter of the parallelogram=36cm

Perimeter=x+x+8+8

36=2x+16

2x=36-16

2x=20

x=20/2

x=10 cm
