Question

Sixty-six feet Of Crown Molding Was Installed Around A Rectangular Dining Room. If The Length of the room is 19.75, what is the width?

Answer 1

13.25 ft

Explanation:

Perimeter = P = 2L + 2w

L = 19.75

P = 66

66 = 2(19.75) + 2w

2w = 66 - 39.5 = 26.5

width = w = 26.5/2 = 13.25

final answer: width = 13.25 ft
