    length = 18 mt

    Width = 10 mt

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the length of the field be x

    width of the field be y

    Hence

    P=2 (x+y)

    P=56 (given)

    56=2 (x+y)

    Dividing both sides by 2 we get

    x+y=28 - - - (A)

    Also given that width of the parallelogram is 8 meters less than its length

    Hence

    y=x-8

    or x-y=8 - - - (B)

    Adding A and B

    2x=36

    x=18

    y=x-8

    y=18-8=10

    Hence length = 18 mt

    Width = 10 mt
