Step-by-step explanation:
2(a+b)=perimeter
2(5+b)=32
5+b=32/2
5+b=16
b=16-5
b=11 cm

Answer:
the given perimeter is equal to 32 cm
and,
one of its side is equal to 5 cm
as we know , the formula of the 2(a+ b)
where a and b are the adjacent side of the parallelogram
hence ,
2(a+b) = 32
( a+b ) = 32/ 2 = 16
a + b = 16
As we know the value of a is 5 cm
putting value of a in eqn
5 + b = 16
b = ( 16 - 5 ) cm
b = 9 cm
hence , the length of the adjacent side 9 cm.
