The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters. the length of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its width. what is the length and the width of the parallelogram?

A parallelogram has 4 sides.
So, we divide 72, the meters of the parallelogram. = 18
Now, the length is 4 more, so we add. 18+4=22
The length is 22.

Now, both lengths are 22, so double is 44; subtract 44 from 72. 72-44=28
In conclusion, we divided 28 by 2 to get the width of both sides.28/2=14
The width is 14.
