Question :
The perimeter of a parallelogram ABCD = 40 cm, AB = 3x cm, BC = 2x cm and CD = 2(y +1) cm. Find the values of x and y.Submitted on 23/12/2023 | Answered by Vandana RanaAnswer :
Let the parallelogram be ABCD Perimeter= 40 cmAB =3x cm BC=2x cm (given)
Perimeter of parallelogram 2(3x+2x)=40
solving equation we get x =4 Also,
AB=CD (opposite sides of parallelogram)
3x=2(y+1) (given)
Putting x=4
3(4)=2y+1
12=2y+2
10 = 2y
Hence y= 5 and x =4
