Question

In a parallelogram two adjacent sides are in the ratio 3: 2 and the perimeter is 65 cm. The length of each of the two shorter sides of this parallelogram is:

• A. 18 cm
• B. 21 cm
• C. 19 cm
• D. 13 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 13 cm

perimeter of parallelogram = 2(sum of two side )

$2(3x+2x)=65$

$2\times 5x=65$

$x=13/2$

smaller side $=2x=2\times \frac{13}{2}=13$
