Answer:

Length = 12 feet, Width = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the bedroom be 'x' ft and the width of the bedroom be 'y' ft.

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by,

P=2(length+width)

P=2(x+y)

It is given that, the length of the bedroom is 2 more than the width, so,

x=y+2

Putting the values in the equation of perimeter we get,

44=2((y+2)+y)

44=2(2y+2)

44/2 =2y+2

22=2y+2

2y=22−2

y= 20/2 =10

Therefore, x=y+2=10+2=12

Hence, the length of the bedroom is 12 feet and the width of the bedroom is 10 feet.
