find the permeter of a parallelogram whose base is 6cm and side 5cm
Perimeter=2(L×B)
=2(6+5)
=2(11)
=22cm
you have two pairs of equal sides.
So, the two sides you have are half the perimeter.

Well, let's see. To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, we simply add up all the sides. So in this case, we have a base of 6cm and two sides that are each 5cm long. So, the perimeter would be 6cm + 5cm + 5cm.
So if I do a little bit of math here, it looks like the perimeter of the parallelogram is...um...what do you call a sleeping bull?
A bull-dozer!
Haha, sorry, I got a bit distracted there. Anyway, adding up all the sides, the perimeter of the parallelogram is...oh wait, I forgot the second side! So let me fix that. The perimeter is actually 6cm + 5cm + 5cm + 5cm.
So, after doing some actual math, the perimeter of the parallelogram is 21cm. Ta-da!
To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, you are given the base length of 6 cm and the side length of 5 cm.
A parallelogram has opposite sides that are equal in length. So, in this case, since you know one side length (5 cm), you also know the length of the opposite side, which is also 5 cm.
To find the perimeter, you need to add up all the sides:
Perimeter = base + side1 + base + side2
= 6 cm + 5 cm + 6 cm + 5 cm
= 12 cm + 10 cm
= 22 cm
Therefore, the perimeter of the parallelogram is 22 cm.
