The perimeter of a parallelogram is 60 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 6 meters less than its length. Find the length and the width of the parallelogram

Width=x-6

lenght=x

Perimeter of a parallelogram=2 (lenght) + 2 (width)

dа ta:

Perimeter=60 m

Therefore:

2 (x) + 2 (x-6) = 60

2x+2x-12=60

4x=60+12

4x=72

x=72/4

x=18

Width=x-6=18-6=12

Lenght=x=18

Answer: the lenght would be 18 m, and the width 12 m
