Answer:

The other length is 60m.

Explanation:

If you look at the shape of a parallelogram, you will see that a parallelogram has two parallel sides. So, if the total perimeter is 220m, then 50m and 50m together would be 100m, so 220- 100= 120m left to fill in both sides left. so, 120÷2= 60m. 60m is the other length.
