Question

the ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 7:9 and it perimeter is 96 cm. Find the sides of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:let the sides be 7x and 9x

2(7x+9x)=96

7x+9x=48

16x=48

x=48/16

x=3

The adjacent sides are=(7*3)and (9*3)

=21 and 27

(ANSWER)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The sides of the parallelogram is 21 cm and 27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 7:9

Let the ratio be x

So, Sides are 7 x and 9 x

Perimeter of parallelogram = 2(length+Breadth)=2(7x+9x)

We are given that it perimeter is 96 cm

So, $2(7x+9x) = 96$

$2(16x) = 96$

$(16x) =48$

$x=\frac{48}{16}$

x=3

7x=7(3)=21 cm

9x=9(3)=-27 cm

Hence the sides of the parallelogram is 21 cm and 27 cm
