Question

The ratio of 2 adjacent sides of a pallelogram is 2:5
and the perimeter is 56m, find the length of it's
adjacent side

please give full explanation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the adjacent side be 5x and 7x respectively.

We know that opposite sides of parallelogram are equal and opposite

So, 5x+7x+5x+7x=24x [Perimeter]

Given, 24x=72

x=3

Hence length of sides of parallelogram are 5×3 and 7×3 or 15 cm and 21 cm.
