Question

Can you please find y and show the steps how you got the answer for y.

Answer 1

y = 2.5

Explanation:

Perimeter (total)= 25 ft.

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are tge same.

To conclude:-

`4y + 4y + y + y = 25`

then...

`8y +2y = 25`

`10y = 25`

take the 10 to the other side (it is multiplying with y. but when it goes to the other side, it will change to divide).

`y = (25)/(10)`

`y = 2.5`

Proofread:-

Substitute Y's value in the given sides:

`4y + 4y + y + y = 25`

that is...

`4(2.5) + 4(2.5) + 2.5 + 2.5 = 25 \: feet`
