Answer:
Given that,
Adjacent sides =5:3
Perimeter =48cm
Length of each side=?
Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal,
Thus, 3rd and 4th side =5:3
Let length of sides be=x
Perimeter of parallelogram =sum of all sides
48=5x−3x+5x+3x
48=16x
x=
16
48
x=3cm
Length of 1 and 3rd side =15cm
Length of 2nd and 4th side 3×3=9cm
Length are =15cm.9cm,15cm,9cm

Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The two adjacent sides of the parallelogram is 2 and 3
We have
2x + 3x + 2x +3x = 240 [A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel]
10x = 240 [Perimeter of a parallelogram is the total distance around the outside of the parallelogram]
X=240/10
=24
Therefore ,
Sides 2x= 2(24) = 48
3x= 3(24) = 72
