To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, we use this formula: $\"2w%2B2l=p\"$ . Let's map out our information mathematically:
\n" ); document.write( "...has a perimeter of 30 feet (=30). The length is 3 more than the width (w+3).
\n" ); document.write( "Let's plug these into our equation: $\"2w%2B2%28w%2B3%29=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Let's simplify that: $\"simplify_cartoon%28+2%2Aw%2B2%2A%28w%2B3%29=30+%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "We now know that w=6. Let's plug that back into our original equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%286%29%2B2%286%2B3%29=30\"$ . Let's simplify that into: $\"2%286%29%2B2%289%29=30\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "We now know that the width is 6 and the length is 9. :) \n" ); document.write( "
