The parallelogram could just as well be a rectangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sides, the adjascent pair, could be 2x and 3x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%282x%29%2B2%283x%29=20\"$ accounts for the given perimeter.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B6x=20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x=20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sides are 4 and 6.
