Answer 1

Answer:

smallest side =15cm

hope this helps u

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the adjacent side be 5x and 7x respectively

We know that opposite side of a parallelogram are equal and opposite so ,5x+7x+5x+7x =24x (perimeter)

Given,24x =72

x = 3

Hence length of side of parallelogram are 5×3 and 7×3 or 15 cm and 21 cm
