Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 5:3 the perimeter of the
parallelogram is 48cm. Find the length of each of its sides.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Side 1:- 9 cm

side 2:- 15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the side 1 and 2 be 5x and 3x

we know that in a parellelogram opposite sides are equal

So side 3 and side 4 = 5x and 3x respectively

Now:- perimeter of parellelogram is sum of all sides,

So ,

3x+3x+5x+5x=48cm

16x=48cm

x=48/16

x=3

so,

SIDE 1= 3cm

SIDE 2=5cm
