Question

Of any two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, one is longer than the other by 3 cm .lf the perimeter is 36 cm , find the lenghts of the sides of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 cm and 10.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter side be x cm

therefore the longer side= x+3 cm

perimeter=2×(sum of length and breadth)

⇒36=2(x+x+3)

⇒36=2(2x+3)

⇒18=2x+3        (2 gets divided in both the sides)

⇒x=7.5 cm

∴breadth=7.5 cm

length=7.5+3=10.5 cm
