Answer:

LM = 36

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is a shape with 4sides. There are different type of quadrilateral such as square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, kite and rhombus.

Perimeter of a quadrilateral is the addition of all 4 sides.

Since the shape is not specified neither is there a diagram, let's assume the quadrilateral is a square.

See attachment for diagram used in solving the question.

Perimeter of square = length+ length+ length+ length

= 4× length

Perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD:

640 = 4×length

Length = 640/4

Length = 160

Perimeter of quadrilateral LMNO:

144 = addition of all 4 lengths

144 = LM + MN + NO +OL

Since we are considering a square all the sides are equal.

LM = MN = NO = OL

144 = 4×LM

LM = 144/4

LM = 36

The perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD is 640. The perimeter of quadrilateral LMNO is-example-1
