Question

The perimeter of parallogram is 32 cm if the longer side measures 9.5 cm what is the measure of shorter side

Answer 1

perimeter of parallelogram =2(l+b)

32 = 2(9.5+b)

16 = 9.5+b

16-9.5 = b

6.5 = b

hence b =6.5cm

measure of shorter side is 6.5cm.

Answer 2

Perimeter of parallelogram = 2(l+b)

32= 2( 9.5+b)

32= 19+2b

32-19= 2b

13 = 2b

b = 13÷2

b = 6.5 cm

Smaller side of parallelogram is 6.5 cm
