Question

The perimeter of a parrallelogram is 72. The width of the parrallelogram is 4 meters less then it's length. Find the width and the length.

Answer 1

to do this you have to do 72/4 = 18 next add 18 + 18= 36 next subtract 36 by 8 which gives you 28 then divide by 2 which gives you 14

the width is 18

for the length do 36 + 8 since your adding the part you took away from the width to the length which gives you 44 next divide 44 by 2 which gives you 22

the length is 22
