A parallelogram has a perimeter of 24 cm.
AB = 8
How long is side AD?
Each pair of opposite sides are parallel and equal.
AB is parallel to DC and therefore also AB = DC = 8.
We will use the given perimeter to find AD and BC—which are also equal and parallel to each other.
Let's now calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram:
Then, we'll divide the two sides by 2:
Given the parallelogram:
