Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 88 cm and one of its adjacent sides is long
than the other by 10 cm. Find the length of each of its sides.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter=88

let one side be x.

other side =10+x

Perimeter=2(x+10+x)

88=2(2x+10)

44=2x+10

34=2x

x=17

One side=17

Other side=17+10

=27

Answer 2

Answer:

17 and 27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for perimeter of a parallelogram=2(l+b)

Let one side be x

And the other be x+10

So,the equation formed is:

2{x+(x+10)}=88

x+x+10=88/2

2x=44-10

x=34/2

x=17

So, the sides are:

x=17cm and x +10=27cm
