In a parallelogram, one of the sides is 2 times larger than the other, its perimeter is 7.5 cm. Find the sides of the parallelogram.

1. The length of one side of the parallelogram is x centimeters.

2. The other side is x * 2 = 2x centimeters.

3. Using the equation, find the sides.

(x + 2x) * 2 = 7.5;

6x = 7.5;

x = 7.5 / 6 = 1.25;

Answer: One side is x = 1.25 centimeters. Another x * 2 = 1.25 * 2 = 2.5 centimeters.
