A parallelogram has a base measurement of
. The perimeter of the parallelogram is . Find the measurement of an adjacent side to the base.
A parallelogram must have two sets of congruent/parallel opposite sides. This parallelogram must have two sides with a measurement of
, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #22 : Quadrilaterals
A parallelogram has a base of
. The perimeter of the parallelogram is . Find the sum of the two adjacent sides to the base.
A parallelogram must have two sets of congruent/parallel opposite sides. This parallelogram must have two sides with a measurement of
, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #4 : How To Find The Length Of The Side Of A Parallelogram
A parallelogram has a base of
. An adjacent side to the base has a length of . Find the perimeter of the parallelogram.
A parallelogram must have two sets of congruent/parallel opposite sides. Therefore, this parallelogram must have two sides with a measurement of
, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Length Of The Side Of A Parallelogram
A parallelogram has a base measurement of
. The perimeter of the parallelogram is . Find the measurement for an adjacent side to the base.
A parallelogram must have two sets of congruent/parallel opposite sides. Therefore, this parallelogram must have two sides with a measurement of
Now, you can work backwards using the formula:
, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #23 : Quadrilaterals
Using the parallelogram shown above, find the length of side
A parallelogram must have two sets of congruent/parallel opposite sides. Therefore, this parallelogram must have two sides with a measurement of
, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Length Of The Side Of A Parallelogram

, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #21 : Quadrilaterals
A parallelogram has a base of
. The perimeter of the parallelogram is . Find the length for an adjacent side to the base.
A parallelogram must have two sets of congruent/parallel opposite sides. Therefore, this parallelogram must have two sides with a measurement of
, where and are the measurements of adjacent sides.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Parallelogram
A quadrilateral has equal sides, each with a length of
.Quantity A: The area of the quadrilateral.
Quantity B: The perimeter of the quadrilateral.
The two quantities are equal.
Quantity B is greater.
The relationship cannot be determined.
Quantity A is greater.
The relationship cannot be determined.
We are told that the shape is a quadrilateral and that the sides are equal; beyond that, we do not know what specific kind of kind of quadrilateral it is, outside of the fact that it is a rhombus. The perimeter, the sum of the sides, is
.If this shape were a square, the area would also be
; however, if the interior angles were not all equivalent, the area would be smaller than this.The relationship cannot be determined.
