Answer:
The perimeter of a parallelogram is 30cm.
Explanation:
From the question , the given area of a parallelogram is 36 cm².
But the area of a parallelogram can be calculated using below formula
Area = base * height
From the question the distances that exist between the point of intersection of the diagonals and the sides are 2cm and 3cm respectively
There is the same distance between point of intersection of the diagonals and the opposite sides then,
The base of the side with 4cm can be calculated as
ha= 2+ 2= 4cm
But area can be calculated as A= base × height
36= b1 × h1
36=b1 × 4
b1= 9cm
The base of the other side can be calculated with 6cm height
h2= 3+3=6cm
A= b2× h2
36= b2 ×h2
36= b2× 6
b2= 6cm
Then the perimeter of the parallelogram can be calculated as
P= 2(b1 + b2)
= 2(6+9)
= 30cm
Hence,the perimeter of the parallelogram is 30cm
