the total lengths of the shorter sides = $2 (4.5) = 9 inch$

The total length of the longer sides = $25 - 9\\= 16 inch$

Answer:

8 inches

Explanation:

A parallelogram has two opposite equal parallel sides and perimeter is the distance round a shape.

the perimeter of the parallelogram = (2 × 4.5 inches) + ( 2 × the longer side) = 25 inches

9 inches + 2 longer side = 25 inches

each longer sides = (25 - 9) / 2 = 8 inches
