Question

PQRS is a parallelogram, where PQ is longer than QR by 6cm. If the perimeter is 36cm what is the length of each side?

Answer 1

Hello,

Here's the answer :-

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are always equal.

Let QR be x cm.

PQ = x+6


Perimeter = 2x + 2(x+6) = 2x +2x +12 cm = 4x +12 cm.

Given,

Perimeter = 36 cm

=> 4x +12 = 36 cm

=> 4x = 24 cm

=> x = 6 cm

Hope it helped :-)

Answer 2

PQ is equal to 12 centimetre QR is equal to 6 CM
