Question

two sides of parallelogram are in the ratio 5:3 and it's perimeter is 48 cm.find the length of each of its sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadrilateral ABCD be the Parallelogram with the given criteria

let the common multiple be x

then the length will be 5x and width will be 3x

the perimeter of Parallelogram is 48cm

then

5x+5x+3x+3x=48.............opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent

16x=48

x=3

then the length is 5x=5(3)=15cm

width is 3x=3(3)=9cm

the length of its sides are 15cm,15cm,9cm,9cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio constant be x

then, sides are 5x and 3x

ATQ, 5x+ 3x+3x+5x=48

16x=48

x=48/16

x=3

Since x=3,

5x=5×3=15

3x=3×3=9

Hence, sides are 15cm and 9cm
