Find the perimeter of a paralle logram whose base is 6cm and side 5cm
You attempted to find the area, but did not have enough information for that.
It asked for the perimeter, that is, how is it all around your parallelogram.
Opposite sides would be equal, and you are given the sides, so .....
P = 2*6+2*5 =
To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, you need to add together the lengths of all four sides.
In this case, the base of the parallelogram is given as 6cm, and one of the sides is given as 5cm.
The opposite side of the parallelogram is also 5cm because opposite sides of a parallelogram are always equal in length.
To find the perimeter, add up all the sides:
Perimeter = 6cm + 5cm + 5cm + 6cm
Perimeter = 22cm
Therefore, the perimeter of the parallelogram is 22cm.
