Question

the perimeter of a parallelogram is 22 cm. if the longer side measures 6.5 cm what is the measure of the shorter side

Answer 1

Perimeter= 22cm

Each of th two longer sides measures= 6.5 com ( since, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

Let each of the two smaller sides measure 'x'

Therefore,

6.5 + 6.5 + x + x = 22

=> 13 + 2x = 22

=> 2x = 9

=> x = 4.5 cm

Answer 2

answer is 3.38 since 22÷6.5 is 3.38
