Question

von has a rectangular workroom with a perimeter of 26 feet. the length of the work room is 6 feet. what is the width of vons workroom?

Answer 1

The length of Von's work room would be 7 feet

Answer 2

The width of vons workroom is, 7 feet

Explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle(P) is given by:

`P = 2(l+w)` ....[1]

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle respectively.

As per the statement:

Von has a rectangular workroom with a perimeter of 26 feet. the length of the work room is 6 feet.

⇒P = 26 feet and l = 6 feet

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

`26 = 2(6+w)`

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

`13 = 6+w`

Subtract 6 from both sides we have;

7 = w

or

w = 7 feet

Therefore, the width of vons workroom is, 7 feet
