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.
Solution
\[\text{ Given }: \]
\[\text{ Shorter side } = 4 . 8 cm\]
\[\text{ Longer side } = \frac{4 . 8}{2} + 4 . 8 = 7 . 2 cm\]
\[\text{ Perimeter = Sum of all the sides } \]
\[ = 4 . 8 + 4 . 8 + 7 . 2 + 7 . 2\]
\[ = 24 \text{ cm }\]
