Question

3. Two sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4:3. If its perimeter is 56 cm, find the lengths
of its sides.
Name each of the following parallelograms:

please answer it if you know the answer with formula in a simple language otherwise I'll not mark you as the brainlest​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of long side 16 and length of short side 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter means sum of 4 sides. As sum of 4 sides is 56, sum of 2 sides is 28.

The 2 sides are in the ratio 4:3. to find their values, first we need to add the ratios. i.e, 4+3 =7.

Then divide the length by that - 28 / 7 = 4

Therefor the common term is 4. So as per the ratio, long side 4 and short side is 3. Then multiplying them with 4 we will get,

Length of long side = 4x4 = 16

Length of short side = 4x3 = 12

If you need to confirm the answers just find the perimeter using the length of sides and check whether it gives 56.

Hope this is helpful.
