Question

A rectangular room is 1.5 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 25 meters. Find the dimensions of the room.meters.The length is meters and the width isRound answer(s) to 2 decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

The length is 7.50metres and the width is 5metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Length = 1.5Width

Perimeter = 25m

Required

Dimension of the room

Perimeter of the rectangular room = 2(L+W)

Since L = 1.5W

P = 2(1.5W+W)

P = 2(2.5W)

P = 5.0W

25 = 5W

W = 25/5

W = 5metres

Since L = 1.5W

L = 1.5*5

L = 7.5meters

The length is 7.50metres and the width is 5metres
