The perimeter of a parallelogram is 25 inches and the two shorter sides each measure 4.5 inches. What is the length, in inches, of each of the longer sides

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 inch

Explanation:

Data:

let the perimeter be = 25 inch

the total lengths of the shorter sides = [tex]2 (4.5) = 9 inch[/tex]

The total length of the longer sides = [tex]25 - 9\\= 16 inch[/tex]

Each longer side will be = [tex]\frac{16}{2} \\= 8 inch[/tex]

The length of each longer side will be 8 inch.

Answer:

8 inches

Explanation:

A parallelogram has two opposite equal parallel sides and perimeter is the distance round a shape.

the perimeter of the parallelogram = (2 × 4.5 inches) + ( 2 × the longer side) = 25 inches

9 inches + 2 longer side = 25 inches

each longer sides = (25 - 9) / 2 = 8 inches
