Let, 
Length = a
Width= b

a-b=4  --eq(1)
since perimeter of parallelogram P=2(a+b)
therefore 
2a+2b=72  --eq(2)

eq(1)=> 
a=b+4

substitute the value of a in eq 2

Eq(2)=>
2(b+4)+2b=72
2b+8+2b=72
4b=72-8
4b=64
b=16

Substitue the value of b in eq(1)

Eq(1)=>
a-16=4
a=20

the length could be 3 in

Item 1<br> Find the dimensions of the square.<br><br> Area = 441 cm²
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

21 cm by 21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a square is A = x^2, where x is the length of any one side of the square.  Here,

441 cm² = x²

This actually has two roots:  {√441, -√441), but since x must be positive here, to be a dimension of the square, we choose +√441, or +21.

The dimensions of the square are 21 cm by 21 cm.

to solve...

add 1 to each side

3x+3=5x

subtract 3x from each side

3=2x

2x=3

divide by 2 to get x

x=3/2

x=1.5

yes i agree because if all the integers are positive, the answer stays positive which means if you know your integer rules: a positive divide by a positive it stays positive. its the same thing for all the other operations. hope this helps.
