The perimeter of the parallelogram is 102 feet. Find m. Write your answer as a decimal or mixed number. The length is 3m and the width is m.
Accepted Solution
A:
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) | Formula for perimeter 102 = 2(3m + m) | Plug in value of length and width 102 = 2(4m) | Combine like terms 102 = 8m | Distribute 2 8m = 102 | Flip LHS and RHS m = 12.75m | Divide by 8 on both sides
