Question

5. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One of its
Sides is greater than the other by 33 cm. find the length
of the sides of the parallelogram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let, the smaller side of the parallelogram be 'x'

then the greater side of the parallelogram will be 'x+33'.

Now the perimeter of a parallelogram is,

P = 2 [ greater side + smaller side]

150 = 2 [ ( x + 33 ) + x ]

150 = 2 [ x + x + 33 ]

150 = 2 [ 2x + 33 ]

Dividing by 2 to both sides we get ,

75 = 2x + 33

2x = 75 - 33

2x = 42

x = 42÷2

x = 21 cm ......

x + 33 = 21 + 33 = 54 cm...

Therefore,the side of the smaller and greater sides of the parallelogram are 21 cm and 54 cm respectively
