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.

Shorter side of the parallelogram = 4.8 cm

Longer side of the parallelogram =

=

We know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel.

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

Perimeter of the parallelogram = 4.8 + 7.2 + 4.8 + 7.2 = 24cm

Therefore perimeter of the parallelogram 24 cm.
