The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is as 3:5, and its perimeter is 48 m, then the sides of the parallelogram is
Let the two sides of parallelogram be 3x and 5x
Perimeter = 2(length+breadth)
Perimeter =2(3x+5x)=16x
But, perimeter is 48 m
∴48=16x
⇒x=4816=3
Hence,the sides of the parallelogram are 3×3=9 m and 5×3=15 m.
