Step-by-Step Solution

The perimeter of the parallelogram is calculated as follows:

$S_{ABCD}=AB+BC+CD+DA$ Since ABCD is a parallelogram, each pair of opposite sides is equal, and therefore, AB=DC and AD=BC

According to the figure that the side of the parallelogram is 2 times larger than the side adjacent to it, it can be argued that $AB=DC=2BC$

We inut the data we know in the formula to calculate the perimeter:

$P_{ABCD}=2BC+BC+2BC+BC$

We replace the given perimeter in the formula and add up all the BC coefficients accordingly:

$24=6BC$

We divide the two sections by 6

$24:6=6BC:6$

$BC=4$

We know that $AB=DC=2BC$ We replace the data we obtained (BC=4)

$AB=DC=2\times4=8$

As ABCD is a parallelogram, then all pairs of opposite sides are equal, therefore BC=AD=4

To find EC we use the formula: $A_{ABCD}=AB\times EC$

We replace the existing data:

$24=8\times EC$

We divide the two sections by 8 $24:8=8EC:8$

$3=EC$
