Okay, so we know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.
Perimeter= 160m
If one side = 50m, that means opposite side is also equal to 50m.
So length of two sides is figured out, leaving two more sides. The equation is something like this: x + x + 50 + 50= 160
2x + 100= 160
2x = 160-100
2x= 60
x= 60/2
Therefore, x=30
So the length of the rest two sides are 30 and 30.
To check, 30+30+50+50= 160 (which is the perimeter).

Given
perimeter of parallelogram was 160 m
one side is 50m
As we knew that opp. sides r equal in parallelogram
So, if one. side is 50, then opp. side is also 50 m
Let perimeter of given be
x+x+50+50 =160
2x+100 =160
2x=160-100
x=60/2
x=30
therefore x=30
now,
x+x+50+50
30+30+50+50
60+100
160
Hence the other 2 sides are 30,30 mts
Hope this helps you
