Question

two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 5 is to 3 the perimeter of the parallelogram is
48 cm find the length of the each of its sides

Answer 1

This is the solution

Answer 2

Hello!!!

Here's the answer :

Let the length of sides be 5x and 3x.

=>Perimeter of the Parallelogram = 48 cm
2 ( a + b) = 48
2(5x + 3x) = 48
2 × 8x = 48
16x = 48
x = $\frac {48}{16}$
x = 3


=> Length of Sides
a = 5x
5 × 3
15 cm

=> b = 3x
3 × 3
9 cm.

Hope it Helps! !!!!!!
