Question

two adjacent side of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3:2 . The perimeter of parallelogram is 72 cm . find the length of each side

Answer 1

Answer:

21.6, 14.4, 21.6, 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be 3x and 2x

Opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram, so the sides are

3x, 2x, 3x, 2x

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

10x = 72

x = 7.2

3x = 21.6

2x = 14.4

So, the sides of the parallelogram are:

21.6cm, 14.4cm, 21.6cm, 14.4cm

Answer 2

Let one side be 3x and the other 2x

This makes the perimeter : 3x+2x+3x+2x=72

10x=72

x=7.2

3×7.2=21.6

2×7.2=14.4

The longer sides are 21.6cm in length and the shorter sides are 14.4cm in length.
