Question

adjacent sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 1:3 and their perimeter is 88 CM then find the length of those sides​

Answer 1

Answer:  Let the length and breath of the parallelogram be l and b respectively.

ATQ

the adjacent sides (i.e the length and breath are in ratio 1:3)

therefore taking l as 3x and b as x considering length to be more than breath.

Perimeter of the parallelogram = 88 cm

==> 2 ( l + b ) = 88

==> 2 (3x + x) = 88

==> 2 (4x) = 88

==> 8x = 88

==> x = 11

Hence the sides are x and 3x , so 11 cm and 33 cm.
