Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 30 cm, if the shorter side measures 6 cm, then the measure of the longer side is :​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the longer side be x

shorter side of parallelogram = 6 cm

perimeter of parallelogram= 30cm

2*(side1+side2)=30

2*(6+x)=30a

12+2x=30

2x=30-12

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the measure of the longer side be x cm

2(x+6)=30

= x+6=15

= x=9

Hence, the measure of the longer side is 9cm
