A parallelogram has a perimeter of 48 millimeters. Two of the sides are each 20 millimeters long. What is the length of each of the other two sides?
2 sides * 20 mm each is 40 mm
subtract this from the perimeter of 48:
48 - 40 = 8
Since the remaining two sides equal each other, their length...
A parallelogram has a perimeter of 54 centimeters. Two of the sides are each 17 centimeters long. What is the length of each of the other two sides?
A parallelogram is a rectangle bent on it's side. So we have the perimeter formula P below:
P = 2l + 2w
We're given w = 17 and P = 54. So we plug...
