Parallelogram perimeter = 2(w+h) |
where: w is the width of the parallelogram h is the side length |
In this case perimeter = 72 m
w = h - 4
as we have : p = 2(w + h)
72 = 2 (h-4 + h)
72 = 2 (2h - 4)
72 = 4h - 8
72 + 8 = 4h
80 = 4h
h = 80 / 4 = 20 m
h: 20 m so w= h-4 = 20 - 4 = 16 m
w: 16m and h: 20m
