Question

the measure of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are in ratio 17 is to 7 if the second side measures 3.5 cm find the perimeter of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Let ABCD be the parallelogram, in which AB = CD and

BC = AD

Let us assume AB > CD,

Given that AB : BC = 17/7

Also, given that BC = 3.5 cm

So, we get AB = 17/7*BC

AB = 8.5 cm

Perimeter of the parallelogram is given by

= 2*(AB + BC)

= 2*(8.5 + 3.5) cm

= 2*12 cm

= 24 cm.

Hence, Perimeter of the parallelogram is 24 cm.

Hope, it helps !

Answer 2

Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD be the parallelogram in which AB=CD and BC=AD.

Assume AB>CD

AB:BC= 17/7

AB=17/7×BC

AB=8.5 cm

perimeter=2(8.5+3.5)

=24cm

hope ,it helps you
