Question

The perimeter of the parallelogram is $32cm$ , and its shorter side is $6.5cm$ find the longer side?

Answer 1

We have,

The perimeter of parallelogram$=32cm.$

Let the shorter side is $=lcm.$

And shorter side is $=bcm.$

Then, given that

$l=6.5cm.$

Now,

Perimeter of parallelogram$=32cm$

$2(l+b)=32$

$2(6.5+b)=32$

$13+2b=32$

$2b=32-13$

$2b=19$

$b=\frac{19}{2}$

$b=9.5cm.$

Hence, the longer side is $9.5cm$
