Let the first side is x
then the second side become (x+10)
According to the question
2(x+x+10) =140
2(2x+10)=140
2x+10=70
2x=70-10
2x=60
x=30
first side=x=30cm
second side=x+10=40cm

Let one side be x
=> The other side = x+10
As we know, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal
Perimeter = Sum of all sides = 2(l+b)
=> 2(x+x+10) = 140
=> 2(2x+10) = 140
=> 4x + 20 = 140
=> 4x = 120
=> x = 30cm
=> x+10 = 40cm
The sides are 30cm,40cm,30cm,40cm
