Question

Write and solve an equation for the situation. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 48 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 8 meters less than its length. Find the length and the width of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

length=16 and width = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

p= 2(length + width) ........ p= 48 m

width=length-8

48=2(length + length -8)

48= 2(2length -8)

48= 4 length-16

48 +16 = 4 length

$\frac{64}{4} = length$

length =16

Width = length - 8

width = 16 - 8

width = 8
