The opposite sides of a parallelogram are given by (7x-5) cm and (13-2x) cm find the length of the sides.

Open in App

Solution

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are of
equal length.

so
7x-5 =13-2x
9x = 18
x = 2

so length of the sides are

7x-5 = 7×2-5
= 9 cm

13-2x = 13-2×4
= 9 cm

so
7x-5 =13-2x
9x = 18
x = 2

so length of the sides are

7x-5 = 7×2-5
= 9 cm

13-2x = 13-2×4
= 9 cm
