Parallelogram

Calculate the missing side of a parallelogram if you know the perimeter o and one side:

a) o = 7.2 cm; b = 1.8 cm
b) o = 5.4 cm; a = 1.9 cm

Correct answer:

a =  1.8 cm
b =  0.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

o=7.2 b=1.8 o = 2a+2b a=o/2b=7.2/21.8=1.8 cm
o=5.4 a=1.9 b=o/2a=5.4/21.9=0.8 cm
