Question

the perimeter of a parallelogram is 112 CM one of its sides is greater than the other by 12 find the length of all sides of the parallelogram​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the two sides have a ratio of 3:4 that means their sides can be represented as 3x and 4x.

⇒ Perimeter of parallelogram =2(3x)+2(4x)

⇒ 112=6x+8x

⇒ 112=14x

⇒ x=8cm

The length of the sides are,

⇒ 3x=3×8cm=24cm

⇒ 4x=4×8cm=32cm

∴ The length of the smallest sides of the parallelogram is 24cm
