Answer:
y = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter (total)= 25 ft.
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are tge same.
To conclude:-
[tex]4y + 4y + y + y = 25[/tex]
then...
[tex]8y +2y = 25[/tex]
[tex]10y = 25[/tex]
take the 10 to the other side (it is multiplying with y. but when it goes to the other side, it will change to divide).
[tex]y = \frac{25}{10} [/tex]
[tex]y = 2.5[/tex]
Proofread:-
Substitute Y's value in the given sides:
[tex]4y + 4y + y + y = 25[/tex]
that is...
[tex]4(2.5) + 4(2.5) + 2.5 + 2.5 = 25 \: feet[/tex]
