Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 48 inches. If the sides are cut in half, then the perimeter of the smaller parallelogram is?

Answer 1

If the sides are `a` and `b` then the perimeter is `2(a+b)`

If the sides are cut in half the new perimeter would be `a+b`

If the perimeter was 48 inches it would be 24 inches on the smaller version.
