Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of parallelogram = 70 ft

-> 2x + 2y = 70 .....(1)

x = 6y (Given) .....(2)

From equations (1) & (2)

2(6y) + 2y = 70

12y + 2y = 70

14y = 70

y = 70/14

y = 5

-> x = 6*5

-> x =30

This shape is called parallelogram.

perimeter : 2(base + height)

Identify the base and height

base : x ≈ 6(y)                                          [ as x is 6 times as large as y ]

height : y

====================================

  • 2(base + height) = perimeter
  • 2(6(y) + y) = 70
  • 2(7y) = 70
  • 7y = 35                                             [ divide both sides by 7 ]
  • y = 5

Find x:

  • x ≈  6(y)
  • x ≈ 6(5)
  • x =  30
