Question

Two sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4 : 3. If its perimeter is 56 cm, find the lengths of its sides.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the common ratio is x

so, two sides are 4x and 3x

so perimeter=4x+3x+4x+3x=56

=> 14x=56

=> x=56 /14=4

so the length of the parallelogram 4.4 cm=16 cm

breadth of the parallelogram=3.4cm=12 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

16,12,16,12

Step By Step Answer

Let sides be 4x and 3x

Perimeter of parallelogram = Side + Side +Side +Side

56 = 4x+ 3x + 4x + 3x

56 = 14x

x = 56/14

x = 4

Now ,

4*4 = 16

3*4 = 12

Sides are 16 , 12 , 16 , 12
