Question

29. The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is as 3 : 5, and its perimeter is 48 m. Find the sides of the
parallelogram.

Answer 1

$\:\: \underline{\underline{\bf{\large\mathfrak{~~Solution~~}}}}$

let the sides are 3x,5x,3x and 5x ....

as the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal......

so according to the question.....

$3x + 5x + 3x + 5x = 48 \\ = > 16x = 48 \\ = > x = \frac{48}{16} \\ = > x = 3$

therefore the sides are (3×3)=9m ,(5×3)=15m

,9m and 15m ....

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sides be 3x and 5x.

perimeter= 48 m

perimeter of parallelogram= 2 [a + b ]

48m = 2 [ 3x + 5x ]

48m = 16x

x = 48/16

x= 3 m

sides are :

3x = 3[3]=9m

5x= 5[3]

5x=15m

hence , solved
