Hi,

the sides of a parallelogram are in the sides of 2 is to 3 

Find the adjacent sides of parallelogram if the perimeter of the parallelogram is 20 cm

Let 2x and 3x  represent the adjacent sides:

 P = 2x + 3x + 2x + 3x = 20cm

                    10x = 20cm

                      x = 2cm



 the adjacent sides of parallelogram are 4cm  and 6cm
