Math Problem Statement
If two sides of a parallelogram have a length of 5 cm and 6 cm, respectively, what is the length of the other two sides? show your solution
Solution
In a parallelogram, opposite sides are always equal in length. This means that the other two sides of the parallelogram will have the same lengths as the given sides.
Given:
- One side is 5 cm
- Another side is 6 cm
Thus, the opposite sides will also be:
- One side of length 5 cm
- One side of length 6 cm
Solution:
- The parallelogram has two sides of length 5 cm and two sides of length 6 cm.
So, the lengths of all four sides of the parallelogram are:
- 5 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 6 cm.
