The sides that add up to 24 cm cannot be adjacent sides, since then their doubled sum must be equal to the perimeter. Then this is the sum of opposite sides, which are the same for the parallelogram.

Then one side is 24/2 = 12 cm.

Then the second side is: (56 – 2 * 12) / 2 = 16 cm.

Answer: The sides of the parallelogram are 12 and 16 cm.
