Question

The ratio of the lengths of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3:2 and its
perimeter is 60 cm. Find the lengths of the sides of the parallelogram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Let the lengths of the adjacet side be 2x and 3x respectively.

Also,perimeter=50cm

⇒2(2x+3x)=50cm

⇒10x=50cm

⇒x=

10

50

=5cm

Thus, the adjacent sides of parallelogram are 10cm and 15cm

Hence area=15×10=150cm
