Answer:

L =80

w=60

Step-by-step explanation:

P =280

L =w +20

=>L +w=280 :2 =140

w+20+w=140

2w=140 - 20

2w =120

w=120 :2 =60

L=60 +20 =80

P =2L +2w

P =2 ×80 +2 ×60

P=160 +120

P=280

Answer:

L = 80    ,   w=60

Step-by-step explanation:

l= w+20

perimeter: l+w+l+w=280

Plug in the value of L in place of L

(w+20)+w+(w+20)+w=280

Combine Like terms

and then separate the variables and knowns by subracting 40 from both sides

4w+40=280

     -40   -40

Divide by 4 from both sides so (W) would be alone

4w=240

÷4     ÷4

You solved half the question now

               w = 60

Remember the L at the top

we now know the value of W

so

L=(60)+20

L=80

<u>just to be sure </u>

80+80+60+60=280

you are welcome

I’m really stuck on this. Would someone please help?

Since MN forms a 180 degree angle, if you subtract 148.7 from 180, you get 31.3 degrees. This means angles L and N are both 31.3 degrees. Since the parallelogram is 360 degrees total, you subtract 62.6 to account for angles L and N. The remaining degrees unaccounted for are 297.4 degrees which you then divide by two to get the value of angles O and M, which would give you 148.7 degrees for each O and M. This means that angle x is 148.7 degrees
