The bisector am of the parallelogram abcd divides the side bc into segments bm = 5 cm

The bisector am of the parallelogram abcd divides the side bc into segments bm = 5 cm, mc = 8 cm. Find the perimeter of the parallelogram.

Since AM is the bisector of the angle BAD, it forms an isosceles triangle at the lateral side AB, then BM = AB = 5 cm.

The length of the longer side of the parallelogram BC = BM + CM = 5 + 8 = 13 cm.

By the property of a parallelogram, the lengths of its opposite sides are equal, then AB = CD = 5 cm, AD = BC = 13 cm.

The perimeter of the parallelogram ABCD is:

Ravsd = 2 * (AB + BC) = 2 * (5 + 13) = 36 cm.

Answer: The perimeter of the parallelogram is 36 cm.
