Question

The perimeter of a parallelogrom is 88 cm and one
of its adjacent sides is longer
thal than the other by 10 cm. Find the lenght of each of its
side​

Answer 1

Let the smaller side be x and bigger side be x+10 perimeter of parallelogram =2x+2(x+10)=88 88=4x+20. 68=4x. The sides are 17 and 27cm.

Answer 2

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 88cm

2(a+b) = 88cm

2(10+x) = 88cm

20 + 2x = 88cm

2x = 88cm - 20cm

2x = 68

x = 68/2

x =34cm

Hence, The length of the parallelogram is 34cm
