The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is 3:5, and its perimeter is 48 m. Find the sides of the parallelogram.
Answers
Answer:
9 m and 15 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let the sides be 3xand 5x.
perimeter is 2(3x+5x)
2*8x= 16x= 48m
x=48/16=3
sides are 3x and 5x
9m,,15m
Answer:
the sides are 9m, 9m,15m and 15m.
Step-by-step explanation:
in a parallelogram the opposite sides are equal so when we find the two sides we can easily find the other two sides.
since 3:5 is the ratio of two sides and it is not equal it's length is half the perimeter of the parallelogram=48/2=24m
sum of the ratios=3+5=8
first side=3/8*24m
=3/1*3m
=9m one side is equal to this side so two sides measure 9m each.
second side=5/8*24m
=5/1*3m
=15m one side is equal to this side so the two remaining sides measure 15m each.
now to check if the answer is correct we can find perimeter=9m+9m+15m+15m
=48m so the answer is correct as the perimeter mentioned in the question is also 48m.
please mark me brainliest it has taken me a lot of effort to write this answer.
