Question

I need help with this!

Answer 1

4.25

Explanation:

Since this is a parallelogram, the parallel sides have the same value.

And since the perimeter of a parallelogram is all of the sides combined, this means

WR + RJ + JS + WS, or

5x + 5x + 3x + 2 + 3x +2 = 16x + 4

The perimeter is 16, so

16x + 4 = 16

16x = 12

x = 0.75

Substitute into 3x + 2, or WS.

2.25 + 2 = WS

WS = 4.25

Answer 2

Explanation:

perimeter of parallelogram =16

• 2(WR+RJ)=16
• 2(5x+3x+2)=16
• 10x+6x+4=16
• 16x=16-4
• x=12/16
• x=3/4

so value of WS=3x+2

• 3×3/4+2
• 4.25cm

hope it helps
