Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 74 cm, If the longer side is 5 cm greater than the shorter side,

what is the length of the shorter side of parallelogram? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the longer side be l and the shorter side be s

given that, l=5+s

perimeter=74cm

2(l+s)=74

l+s=37

5+s+s=37

5+2s=37

2s=37-5

2s=32

s=16cm
