Question

Perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One of its sides is greater than the other side by 25 cm. Find the lengths of all sides.

Answer 1

i think 1 side has to be 6 as 150/25 is 6

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of the sides are 25, 25, 50 and 50 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question,

Perimeter of the parallelogram, P = 150 cm

Now,

Let us say that one of the sides of the parallelogram is = x cm

So,

The other side of the parallelogram = (x + 25) cm

Now,

As the opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal in length.

So,

Perimeter is given by,

$P=2(x)+2(x+25)\\So,\\150=2x+2x+50\\100=4x\\x=25\ cm$

Therefore,

Length of one of the sides is 25 cm.

And,

Length of the other side is given by 50 cm.

Therefore, the sides length are 25, 25 and 50, 50 cm.
