Answer:

The correct answer is the measure of sides are 4 cm and 7 cm.

Explanation:

Juainta is cutting a piece of construction paper in the shape of a parallelogram.

Two opposite sides of a parallelogram have links 5n-6 cm and 3n-2 cm. The third side measures 2n+3 cm.

We know that in a parallelogram, the measure of opposite sides are equal.

∴ 5n - 6 = 3n -2

⇒ 2n = 4

⇒ n = 2.

The length one side is 4 cm and of the other side is 7 cm.
