Question

GIVING CROWN IS RIGHT!!!!!!

Stefon is painting the ceiling of a room. The ceiling is in the shape of a rectangle. He has enough paint to cover 180 square feet. The length of the ceiling is 11 feet longer than its width. What are the dimensions of the ceiling?


l = 26 ft; w = 15 ft
l = 21 ft; w = 10 ft
l = 29 ft; w = 18 ft
l = 20 ft; w = 9 ft

Answer 1

All you have to do is multiply the l * w = Area

When you look at 26 ft and 15 ft, 21 ft and 10 ft, 29 ft and 18 ft, you'd know it wouldn't work since it's over 180.

So the dimensions of the ceiling are l = 20 ft; w = 9 ft
