Given :-
The adjacent sides of parallelogram are in the ratio 5 : 3
Longer side is 7.5 cm
Solution :-
Let the ratios be 5x and 3x
Longer side = 7.5
Therefore ,
5x = 7.5
x = 7.5 / 5
x = 1.5
The value of x = 1.5
Now ,
The shorter side = 3x = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 cm
• Perimeter of parallelogram
= 2( Base + Height )
Put the required values in the formula ,
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2( b + h )
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 ( 7.5 + 4.5 )
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 * 12
Perimeter of parallelogram = 24 cm^2
