Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 22cm. If the longer sides iso 6.5 what is the shorter sides.

Answer 1

Answer:

9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter of a parallelogram = 22cm

length of longer sides = 6.5cm

length 1 one of the shorter sides be x

length of both shorter sides = 2x

6.5+6.5+x+x=22

13+2x=22

2x=22-13

2x=9

x=9/2

x=4.5

so the length of 1 of the shorter sides is 4.5cm and length of both shorter sides = 9cm
