Let ABCD be the parallelogram
Let AB = x mNow, BC = 2x mPerimeter = 120 m⇒2AB+BC = 120⇒AB + BC = 60⇒x+2x = 60⇒3x = 60⇒x = 20So, AB = 20 mBC = 2x = 2× 20 = 40 m

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are such that one is twice the other. If the perimeter of the parallelogram is 120 m. Find the length of its adjacent sides.
