Question

the perimeter of parallelogram is 150 cm one of its side is greater than the other by 33 cm find the length of the sides of parallelogram

Answer 1

Let, the smaller side of the parallelogram be 'x'
then the greater side of the parallelogram will be 'x+33'.

Now the perimeter of a parallelogram is,
P = 2 [ greater side + smaller side]
150 = 2 [ ( x + 33 ) + x ]
150 = 2 [ x + x + 33 ]
150 = 2 [ 2x + 33 ]

Dividing by 2 to both sides we get ,

75 = 2x + 33
2x = 75 - 33
2x = 42
x = 42÷2
x = 21 cm ......
x + 33 = 21 + 33 = 54 cm...

Therefore,the side of the smaller and greater sides of the parallelogram are 21 cm and 54 cm respectively.
