Question

If the perimeter of the parallelogram is 100, find the lengths of the sides

Answer 1

Option one 22 & 28

Explanation:

`100=2(2x-8)+2(x+4)`

`100=4x-16+2x+8`

`100+16-8=6x`

`108=6x`

`x=108/6=18`

The XY side and its WZ partner side measure

`2x-8=2(18)-8=36-8=28`

The XW side and its partner YZ measure

`x+4=18+4=22`

check the perimeter

`p=2(28) +2 (22)=56+44=100`

Hope this helps
