Question

The ration of two siders of a parallelogram is 3:4. If its perimeter is 56 cm, find
the lengths of the sides of the parallelogram.

Answer is 12 cm , 16 cm​

Answer 1

In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal

let given ratio=4x,3x,4x,3x(opposite sides are equal)

Perimeter =56

sum of given ratio=4x+3x+4x+3x=14x

therefore 14x=56

x=4

Sides of ratio4x =16 m

3x=12cm

therefore sides =16cm,12cm,16cm,12cm
