Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 32cm.if shorter side is 6.5cm the measurement of the longer side is

Answer 1

Answer:

In parallelogram Opposite sides are equal.

If the perimeter is 32cm then 2b+2l=32

So we know that one side is 6.5cm.

2×6.5cm+2l=32

13cm+2l=32

Now solve the equation.

2l=32-13

2l=19

l=19÷2

l=9.5

So the longer side is 9.5cm.

(l is length and b is breadth)
