Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 150cm.One of the sides is greater than the other by 25cm. Find
the length of all sides of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple, Take the parallel side 1 as x then parallel side 2 = x+25. Sides opposite to this = x and x+ 25 respectively. As parallel sides are equal in parallelogram.

Add them that is x+x+x+25+x+25(All the sides)=150

4x+50=150

x =25

Parallel side 1 is 25 cm

Parallel side 2 is 50 cm(x+25cm)

Answer 2

Answer: 2 sides are 50 cm in length whereas the other 2 sides are 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one side be x cm

The other side is x+25 cm

Perimeter of a parallelogram

=2x+2(x+25)=150

=2x+2x+50=150

4x=150-50

4x= 100

x=100/4=25 cm

Other side is equal to x+25=25+25=50cm

All the sides of parallelogram are 25 cm, 50 cm, 25 cm and 50 cm.
