The length of each of its parallel side are 30 cm and 40 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Perimeter of parallelogram = 140 cm.
- The one side of parallelogram = x cm.
- The other side of parallelogram = x+10 cm.
Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2 (base+height)
⇒ 140 = 2(x+x+10)
⇒ 140 = 2(2x+10)
⇒ 140 = 4x+20
⇒ 4x = 120
⇒ x = 120/4
x = 30 cm
∴ The longer side = 30+10 = 40 cm
