Question

The primeter of parallelogram is 72 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length. Find the length and the width of the paraelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

20m 16m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the length as x meters

So, the width as x - 4 meters

According to Question,

[ ∵ Perimeter of ||gm = 2(l + w) ]

Perimeter of ||gm = 72 m

⇒ 2[x + x - 4] = 72

⇒ 2x - 4 = 72/2 = 36

⇒ 2x = 36 + 4 = 40

⇒ x = 40/2

⇒ x = 20

Length = x m = 20 m

Width = (x - 4) m = (20 - 4) m = 16 m

∴ Length and Width of parallelogram are 20 m and 16 m respectively
