Question

Two sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4.3 if it's perimeter is 56 cm, find the length of its sides

Answer 1

As we know opposite sides are same so ratio is given as 4:3
Now suppose one side is 4x and another side is 3x so it's opposite sides must be 4x & 3x
Now perimeter = sum of all sides
56 = 3x + 3x + 4x + 4x
56 = 14x
x = 4
So sides are 12,16,12,16
