Answer:

4 cm and 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Juanita is cutting a piece of construction paper in the shape of a parallelogram. Two opposite sides of the parallelogram have lengths (5n − 6) cm and (3n − 2) cm.

We know that opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram.

Hence we have

$5n-6 = 3n-2\\2n =4\\n=2$

Hence the side length = $5(2)-6 =4 cm$

The adjacent side = $2n+3\\=2(2)+3\\=7cm$

Thus answer is 4 cm and 7 cm
