Question

Christine's regular bedroom has a perimeter of 44 feet. The length of her bedroom is 2 more than the width. What are the dimensions of her room?

Answer 1

12 feet by 10 feet

Explanation:

Let length = x + 2 and breadth = x

`2(x+2+x)=44`

`2(2x+2)=44`

`2x+2= 44/2`

`2x=22-2`

`2x=20`

`x=20/2= 10 \ \text{feet}`

Thus, breadth = 10 feet

length = 10 + 2 = 12 feet
