The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length. Write an equation that could be used to find the length of the parallelogram. (Remember: the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides or P=2L + 2W)

L= 16 m

W= 12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let us define the parameters of the parallelogram

let the length be L

and the width be W

given that the W= L-4

perimeter= 72 meters

We know that the perimeter of a parallelogram is given as

Substituting W= L-4 for W we have

Divide both sides by 4 we have

From w= L-4 we can find w by setting L= 16

W= 16-4

W= 12 m

the answer is 8

step-by-step explanation:

3.14 x 8x8

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
