Question

In a parallelogram ABCD, adjacent sides
are in the ratio 2:5 and its
perimeter is 56m. Find the length
of the sides of the parallelogram
ABCD​

Answer 1

Answer:

So as per my calculation One side is 8 cm and the other is 20 cm.

Answer 2

Length of sides are 8 cm, 20 cm, 8 cm, 20 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of adjacent sides are 2:5.

Let the length of first side be 2x.

Let the length of second side be 5x.

Perimeter = 56 m

So, According to question, we get that

$2x+5x+2x+5x=56\\\\14x=56\\\\x=\dfrac{56}{14}\\\\x=4$

Hence, the length of side would

$2x=2\times 4=8\ cm\\\\5x=5\times 4=20\ cm$

Therefore, length of sides are 8 cm, 20 cm, 8 cm, 20 cm.
