Question

Find the perimeter of the geometric figure (hint recall the perimeter means distance around

Answer 1

The perimeter (P) of a parallelogram is the sum of all the sides. In our case, it would be as follows:

`P=(2)/(5)+(2)/(5)+(2)/(3)+(2)/(3)`

Simplifying:

`P=(4)/(5)+(4)/(3)`

To add these, we have to find a common denominator:

`P=(4)/(5)+(4)/(3)=(3\cdot4+5\cdot4)/(15)`
`P=(12+20)/(15)=(32)/(15)`

Answer:

`(32)/(15)cm`
