The two consecutive sides of a parallelogram measures
(10x - 5) cm and (5x + 10) cm, respectively. If the perimeter of
the parallelogram measures 250 cm, then what is the measure
of each side?


Sagot :

Answer:

P = 2s1 + 2s2

250 = 2(10x - 5) + 2(5x + 10)

250 = 20x - 10 + 10x + 20

250 - 10 = 30x

240 = 30x

8 = x

side 1 : 10x - 5

side 1 : 10(8) - 5

side 1 = 80 - 5

side 1 = 75 cm

side 2 : 5x + 10

side 2 : 5(8) + 10

side 2 : 40 + 10

side 2 : 50 cm

hope it helps !
