Question

The Perimeter Of A Parallelogram Is 72 Meters. The Width Of The Parallelogram Is 4 Meters Less Than It’s Length. Find The Length And The Width Of The Parallelogram?

Answer 1

The width would be x-4 and  

Length would be x  

Add all of the sides together  

(x-4)+(x-4) + x + x =72,

Which would come out

4x-8=72

Subtract 8 fro, 72 and you get 64  

Then divided 64 by 4

So. Width is 16 and length is 20 .         given (x-4)
