The perimeter of the parallelogram is 82. One side of the parallelogram is 29 larger

The perimeter of the parallelogram is 82. One side of the parallelogram is 29 larger than the other. Find the smaller side of the parallelogram.

Let one side of the parallelogram be equal to X cm, then the other side will be (X + 29) cm.

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal, then its perimeter is:

P = 2 * (X + X + 29).

82 = 4 * X + 58.

4 * X = 24.

X = 6 cm.

Answer: The length of the shorter side is 6 cm.
