Question

one side of the parrallelogram is 2.5 m longer than its adjacent side. if the perimeter of parrallelogram is 51 m, find the measure of all its sides









ANSWER IS = 11.5 M , 14 M
I WANT THE SOLUTION IN DETAIL

Answer 1

Let the shortest side be x


Then longer side = x+2.5



ATQ




Sum of all sides = 51


x+x+2.5+x+x+2.5= 51


4x+5= 51


4x= 51-5


x= 46/4


x= 11.5m


Shortest side= 11.5m


Longer side= x+2.5


→11.5+2.5


→14m






Thank You!!!

Hope this will be helpful for you .

Answer 2

Let the Adjacent Side = x
The other Side = x+2.5
We know that the perimeter of IIgram is 2(l+b)
2(x+x+2.5) = 51
2(x+x+2.5)/2 = 51/2
x+x+2.5 = 25.5
2x+2.5 - 2.5 = 25.5 - 2.5
2x = 23
X = 11.5 m
The other Side is (11.5+2.5)m = 14m
You got your 2 sides of the parallelogram
