The perimeter of a parallelogram is 46 in. If the length of one side is 14 in., what is the length of a side adjacent to it?

Question

iloveonedirection · Answer

Adjacent means connected to so you are looking for the width. 
 Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width) P = 2l + 2w 
 46 = 2l + 2w l = 14 
 46 = 2(14) + 2w 46 = 28 + 2w 18 = 2w 9 = w 
 Width: 9 inches
