Question

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 180 cm. One side exceeds the other by 10 cm. What are the lengths of adjacent sides of the parallelogram?​

Answer 1

Answer:

one side is 40 other is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=180cm

let one side=length=x

Acc. to condition:

other side=width=x+10 (one side exceed other by 10)

perimeter= 2(length+width)

subtitue all values given above:

180=2(x+x+10)

180=2(2x+10)

2x+10=180/2

2x+10=90

2x=90-10

2x=80

x=40

now

lenght=x=40cm

width=x+10=40+10

width=50cm
