Question

1. The distance around Heather's bedroom is 44 feet.

The width of the room is 10 feet, what is the length of the room?

Answer 1

To find the length of Heather's bedroom, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.

We have the perimeter (P = 44 feet) and the width (W = 10 feet). Plugging these values into the formula:

44 = 2L + 2(10)

44 = 2L + 20

Now, we can solve for the length (L):

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation:

24 = 2L

Divide by 2:

L = 12 feet

So, the length of Heather's bedroom is 12 feet.
