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 is:
8/2 = 4mm
