Question

The ratio of two adjacent sides of a parellelogram is 3 : 1 and its perimeter is 72cm. What is the length of the adjacent sides?

Answer 1

let one of the side be of x
Therefore it's adjacent side would be 3x
Opposite sides of Parallelogram are equal
therefore
3x+x+3x+x=72
8x=72
x=9
The other side
3x=3(9)
=27
Adjacent side are 9cm and 27cm
Hope it helps

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE ONE SIDE BE X

therefore

3x+x+3x+x=72

8x=72

x=9

the other side

3x=3(9)

=27

Adjacent side are 9 cm and 27 cm .
