We are given a parallelogram with sides:
3 1/8 and 2 3/16.
Let us convert each into improper fraction.
3 1/8 = 25/8
2 3/16 = 35/16
Now perimeter of parallelogram is given by:
[tex] P = 2(sum of non parallel sides) [/tex]
[tex] P= 2(\frac{25}{8} + \frac{35}{16}) [/tex]
Now we have to find lcd of 8 and 16.
lcd of 8 and 16 is 16.
[tex] P= 2(\frac{25*2}{8*2} + \frac{35}{16} ) [/tex]
[tex] P=2( \frac{50}{16} + \frac{35}{16} ) [/tex]
[tex] P= 2(\frac{50+35}{16} ) [/tex]
Perimeter = 85/8 km
Answer : Perimeter of parallelogram is given by 85/8 km.
