12

6

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer to your question is:

length = 12

width = 6

Explanation:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2 length + 2 width

We know that width = length - 6

So

60 = 2 length + 2(length -6)

60 = 2 length + 2 length - 12

60 - 12 = 4 length

48 = 4 length

length = 48/4 = 12 meters

width = length - 12

= 12 - 6

= 6
