Question

The ratio of sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 5 and the perimeter is 48 cm, find the longer side of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of 2 sides of a parallelogram is 3/5 and its perimeter is 48cm find the sides of parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 5:3 the perimeter of the parallelogram is 48 cm. Thus, Adjacent sides be 5x and 3x.

Answer 2

Answer:

sides are 15 cm, 9 cm,15cm, 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of two sides of parallelogram is 3 : 5 and its perimeter is 48 cm.

Let length = l and breadth = b   (l >b)

Then b : l = 3: 5

b=3l/5

Perimeter = 2 (l+b) = 48 cm

2(l+3l/5)=48

8l/5=24

=l = 15 cm 

then b = 9 cm 

Then sides are 15 cm, 9 cm,15cm, 9 cm.
