Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 25 cm. If the
longer side measures 8 cm, what is the measure
of the shorter side?​

Answer 1

Given:

• Perimeter of s paralleogram is 25cm.
• Measure of longer side is 8cm.

To Find:

• The measure of shorter side.

Answer:

Given that perimeter of a || gm is 25cm and value of longer side is 8cm.

Let us take the value of longer side be x .

Now perimeter of paralleogram is given by :

☞ Perimeter = 2(l + b) ☜

⇒2 ( 8cm + x ) = 25cm.

⇒ 16cm + 2x = 25cm

⇒ 2x = 25cm - 16cm.

⇒2x = 9cm.

⇒x = 9cm/2.

☞ x = 4.5cm.

Hence the value of shorter side is 4.5cm.

Some properties of paralleogram:

• Opposite sides are equal.
• Opposite angles are equal.
• Diagonals bisect each other.
• Opposite sides are parallel.
• The sum of adjacent angles is 180°.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:
