Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 42cm. If the larger side is 2.6 cm more than the shorter side. Find the larger side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15.158 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of parallelogram is : 2(l+b)

2(l+b) = 42

l+b = 21

given

l= 2.6b

==>2.6b+b = 21

==>3.6b = 21

==>b = 21/3.6

==>breadth b = 5.83cm

==> larger side l = 2.6*5.83= 15.158 cm
