Question

The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is as 3:5 and its perimeter is 48m. Find the sides of a parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the answer

As per the question,

We have to find the sides of parallelogram.

Given :

Ratio of two sides of parallelogram are 3 : 5.

Perimeter is 48 m

Solution :

Let the common multiple be 'x'

Let the sides be 3x and 5x respectively.

Now,

Perimeter = 2 { 3x + 5x }

48 = 2 × 8x

48/2 = 8x

24 = 8x

x = 24/8

x = 3

Hence, the value of x is 3 m

Now,

3x = 3 × 3 = 9

5x = 5 × 3 = 15

Hence , the sides of parallelogram are

9 m and 15 m.

Hence ,

Answer is Option (A) 9m , 15m.

Thanks!

Answer 2

Answer:

9m and 15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Now,

Perimeter = 2 { 3x + 5x }

48 = 2 × 8x

48/2 = 8x

24 = 8x

x = 24/8

x = 3

Hence, the value of x is 3 m

Now,

3x = 3 × 3 = 9

5x = 5 × 3 = 15

Hence , the sides of parallelogram are

9 m and 15 m.
