Question

two sides of parralelogram are in the ratio 4:3 if its perametre is 56 cm find the lengths of its sides

Answer 1

let the sides of parallelogram be 4x and 3x

A/Q

p = 2( l + B)

56 = 2 ( 4x + 3x )

28 = 7x

x= 4

1st side = 4 × 4 = 16cm

2nd side = 3 × 4 = 12 cm

thank you

Answer 2

1st side ratio = 4

2nd side ratio =3

Total Ratio = 4+3 = 7

1 st side = 4÷7×56
= 4×8
=32 cm

2nd side = 3÷7×56
= 3×8
= 24 cm
