Given:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 64 cm

Length = 3 times larger than the width

To find:

The length of the parallelogram.

Solution:

We know that, the perimeter of the parallelogram is:


P=2(l+w)

Where, l is length and w is width of the parallelogram.

We have, l = 3w and P=64.

So,


64=2(3w+w)


64=2(4w)


64=8w

Divide both sides by 8.


8=w

Now,


l=3w


l=3(8)


l=24

Therefore, the length of the parallelogram is 24 cm.
