☆Hello friend☆
Perimeter of parallelogram = Sum of all sides
Let unknown side be x
60 cm = 12 cm + 12 cm + x + x
60 cm = 24 cm + 2x
60 cm - 24 cm = 2x
36 cm = 2x
36 cm/2 = x
18 cm = x
Hope it helps☺

Ya we can use it
But many get confused that why we parallelogram as rectangle
so i wrote perimter of all sides
ohh...may b yess...but anyway the answer will be the same right??
yes
ofcoirse
ofcourse
mm...ok

Heya ☺
Given that
Perimeter of a parallelogram = 60 cm
Smaller side = 12 cm
Longer side = ?
Solution
Let the length of the longer side be (x) cm. Then,
Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(sum of adjacent sides)
=> 60 = 2(12+x)
=> 60/2 = 12 + x
=> 30 = 12 + x
=> 30 - 12 = x
=> x = 18
Longer side = 18 cm
Thanks
