A parallelogram has opposite sides that are equal in length. Let's say the shorter side is 18 cm and the longer side is x cm.
Since the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of all four sides, we can write the equation as: 2(18) + 2x = 96
Simplify: 36 + 2x = 96
Subtract 36 from both sides: 2x = 60
Divide both sides by 2: x = 30
Therefore, the longer side of the parallelogram is 30 cm.
Solve and explain this question:
The perimeter of a parallelogram is 96cm find it's longer side if the shorter side is 18cm
