Q:

The perimeterof a parralelagram is 60 meters. The width of the parralelgram is 6 meters less than its length. Find the length and width of the paralelogram

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The answer to your question is: length = 12width = 6Step-by-step explanation:Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2 length + 2 widthWe know that width = length - 6So           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
