Question

Perimeter of a parallelogram is 220 m. If one side exceeds the other by 50 m, find the length of the sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

30m and 80m

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of one side be x m

then length of other side is (x+50)m

then perimeter of the parallelogram is 2[x+(x+50)] m or (4x+100)m

but the perimeter of the parallelogram is 220m

then 4x+100=220

or x=30

then x+50 =80

Answer 2

Answer:

Length = x + 50 = 80metres.

breadth = x = 30 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume one side as x metres

As the other side exceeds by 50

So, other side is (x + 50)

We know that,

Perimeter of the parallelogram = 2(l + b)

Where,

l (length) = (x + 50) metres

b (breadth) = x metres

Therefore,

➩ Perimeter of the parallelogram = 2(x + x + 50)

➩ 220 = 2(2x + 50)

➩ 220 = 4x + 100

➩ 220 - 100 = 4x

➩ 120 = 4x

➩ 120/4 = x

➩ x = 30 metres.

Hence,

Length = x + 50 = 80metres.

And breadth = x = 30 metres.
