Question

The shorter side of a parallelogram is 4.8 cm and the longer side is half as much again as the shorter side . find the perimeter of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Hi,

We know the properties of the

Parallelogram.
*********************************************
In a parallelogram Opposite sides are

Parallel and equal.

***********************************************


Length of the shorter side = x = 4.8cm

Length of the longer side = x + x / 2

= 4.8 + ( 4.8/2 )

= 4.8 + 2.4

= 7.2 cm

Perimeter of the parallelogram

= 2 ( length of longer side + length of

shorter side)

= 2 ( 7.2 + 4.8 )

= 2 × 12

= 24 cm

Therefore,

Perimeter of the parallelogram is

equal 24cm.

I hope this will useful to you.
