Question

two adjacebt sides if a parelellogram are in the ratio of 3:2 .the perimeter of the paralellogram is 72cm .find the length of each of its sides​

Answer 1

●First of all it is essential to know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel to each other.

Let the adjacent sides be represented by 3x and 2x respectively.

Since it is a parallelogram, two sides will be of the length 3x and two 2x.

➡️So By The Problem (BTP):-

3x + 3x +2x + 2x = 72

=》10x = 72

=》 x = 7.2

So 3x = 3 × 7.2 = 21.6 cm

2x = 2 ×7.2 = 14.4 cm

So the length of the 4 sides of the parallelogram are 21.6cm, 21.6cm, 14.4cm and 14.4 cm
