Exactly like with a rectangle.

Divide the longer side by the shorter side and the ratio will be x : 1

How do you find the ratio of two adjacent side lengths in a triangle?

They are in the same proportion as the sines of the angles that are opposite them.


How do you find the perimeter of of a parallelogram?

If the parallelogram is sideways like the small sides are crooked and the bottom lines are straight then you have to add all the sides to get your answer.Measure any two adjacent sides. Sum them, then multiply by two.It's the sum of the lengths of all sides that form a parallelogram.Perimeter is the distance around an object. If we have a parallelogram with a length 12 and width 5, then 5+5+12+12 which is equal to 34. Same with trapezoid, rectangle, triangle, star, etc.P = 2l + 2w


How can you find the area of a parallelogram if you only know the side lengths?

The area of a parallelogram is equal to base times height. You can find the maximum area of a parallelogram by multiplying the length of a short side by the length of a long side. (This would be the area if the parallelogram were a rectangle.)You cannot know the area of a parallelogram if all you know is the length of the sides; you can only know the maximumpossible area. Imagine you slant the parallelogram a lot. The area will decrease, but the side lengths will stay the same.


What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent?

Oh, dude, you're talking about trigonometry now! The ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg in a right triangle is called the tangent of the angle. It's calculated by dividing the length of the opposite side by the length of the adjacent side. So, like, if you're trying to find that ratio, just remember to divide and conquer!


How do you find ratio of perimeter?

get the lengths of all sides of shape for example : 12 : 10 : 14 now by simplifying . . . 6 : 5 : 7

Add together the lengths of all four sides of the parallelogram, or,add together the lengths of a pair of adjacent sides and then double the result.


How do you find the ratio of two corresponding sides in a parallelogram?

Divide the length of one side by the length of an adjacent side.


How do you find the ratio of two adjacent side lengths in a triangle?

Abcd is a parallelogram if the ratio of the two sides is 3 2 and perimeter is 120 m then find the lengths of the sides of parallelogram?

The sides are 24 metres and 36 metres.


How do you find the adjacent angle sum of parallelogram?

You do not need to find. If it is a parallelogram, it must be 180 degrees.


Can you use the tangent ratio to find the length of the hypotenuse?

No; the tangent ratio only deals with the lengths of the opposite side and adjacent side. You can square the two sides and add them together, then find the square root of the sum to find the length of the hypotenuse.


Why do you not usually multiply the side lengths of a parallelogram to calculate its area?

To find area you need base and height of a parallelogram. A = BH Not all the side lengths given would be base or height. Side lengths are perfect to find perimeter but don't rely on the side lengths for area.


How do you find an angle of a parallelogram using sides?

You cannot. A parallelogram can be flexed: the angles can be altered without affecting the lengths of the sides.


How do you find the ratio of adjacent sides?

You divide the length of one adjacent side by the length of the other adjacent side.

How do you know which trigonometric ratio to use when finding the measure of an angle?

Apply the 'aide memoire'. Soh , Cah, Toa. To find the Sine you apply Soh ; so you need to known the lengths of the opposite and the hypotenuse. Cosine(Cos) you apply Cah ; so you need to known the lengths of the adjacent and the hypotenuse. Tangent(Tan) you apply Toa ; so you need to known the lengths of the opposite and the adjacent .


Can you find the perimeter of a parallelogram with two opposite sides?

No. Adjacent sides, yes. (Twice the sum)
