Question

Lisa's rectangular living room is 22 feet wide. If the length is 6 feet less than twice the width, what is the area of her living room?

Answer 1

Answer: Area = 836 feet²

Explanation:

We will call L the length and W the width, then

L = 2W - 6 feet

L = 2 x 22 feet - 6 feet = 44 feet - 6 feet = 38 feet

Area of a rectangle is L x W

Area = 38 feet x 22 feet = 836 feet²
