Question

The ratio of 2 adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 2:3. If perimeter is 40 m, the sides will be?

Answer 1

Answer:

40cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

given:The ratio of adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 2:3

Let the lengths of the adjacent side be 2x and 3x

respectively.

Also, perimeter =40cm

=>2(2x+3x)=40cm

=>10x=40cm

=>x=40/10=4cm

Thus, the adjacent sides of parallelogram are 10cm and 4cm

Hence area =4×10=40cm²
