Question

A rectangular room is

1.8

times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is

27

meters. Find the dimension of the room.

Answer 1

We should fuigre it out by first doing 1.7x since we don't know the 2 different widths and lengths.

P= 2*length + 2*width(the distance around)

Question says...

2(1.7x)+2x = 28

3.4x+2x=28

5.4x=28

X= 28m divided by 5.4

x = 5.2m: the width  The length is : 8.8m
