Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 36 cm . If the smaller side is 8 cm find the the measure of the longer side.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of parallelogram = 2( a+b)

Let a be bigger side i. E. = 8cm

And b = unknown value.

36 = 2 ( 8 + b)

36/2 = 8 +b

18 = 8+b

18-8 = b

10 = b

Answer 2

Answer:

longer side = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know in a parallelogram opposite sides are parallel and equal

let the longer side be x cm

so, x+ x + 8+8= 36

or, 2x + 16 = 36

or, 2x = 36 - 16

or, 2x= 20

so, x= 10
