Answer:
let the adjacent sides be 5x and 3x
We know that opposite side of parallelogram are equal
so according to question :-
5x+3x+5x+3x = 48
16x = 48
x = 48/16 = 3
so
5x = 5*3 = 15
3x = 3*3 = 9
so the sides are 15,9,15,9

Solution:-
Adjacent sides= 5:3
Perimeter= 48cm
Length of each side=?
_________________________
Opposite sides of PARALLELOGRAM are equal.
Thus, 3rd and 4th side= 5:3
Let length of sides be = x
Perimeter of llgm= sum of all sides
48= 5x+3x+5x+3x
48= 16x
48/16=x
x=3cm
Length of 1 and 3rd side= 5×3=15cm
Length of 2nd and 4th side= 3×3=9cm
________________________
Lengths are 15cm, 9cm, 15cm, 9cm.
