Question

Hots
If the difference between two adjacent
sides of a parallelogram
is 20 units, perimeter is 200 units , then find the
measure of all sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

First side = 40 units

Adjacent Second side = 60 units  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one side of parallelogram = x

then

According to given condition

The adjacent second side of parallelogram = x + 20

And

we know that

Parameter of parallelogram = 2(one side + adjacent second side)

Putting the values we get

Parameter of parallelogram = 2(x + x + 20) = 2(2x + 20) = 4x + 40

But

According to second given condition

Parameter of parallelogram = 200

By comparing both equations we get

4x + 40 = 200

        4x = 200 - 40 = 160

          x = 160 / 4 = 40

So

First side = 40 units

And

Adjacent Second side = x + 20 = 40 + 20 = 60 units  

Thus

Adjacent Second side = 60 units.
