Question

Can someone help me with this question please?

Answer 1

We are given a parallelogram with sides:

3 1/8 and 2 3/16.

Let us convert each into improper fraction.

3 1/8 = 25/8

2 3/16 = 35/16

Now perimeter of parallelogram is given by:

`P = 2(sum of non parallel sides)`

`P= 2((25)/(8) + (35)/(16))`

Now we have to find lcd of 8 and 16.

lcd of 8 and 16 is 16.

`P= 2((25*2)/(8*2) + (35)/(16) )`

`P=2( (50)/(16) + (35)/(16) )`

`P= 2((50+35)/(16) )`

Perimeter = 85/8 km

Answer : Perimeter of parallelogram is given by 85/8 km.
