Question

A rectangular room is 6 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 28

meters. Find the dimension of the room.

Answer 1

Answer: width = 4 and length = 10

Explanation:

Width = w and length = w + 6

2(w) + 2 (w + 6) = 28

2w + 2w + 12 = 28

4w = 28 - 12

W = 16/4

W = 4 (width)

Length = w + 6

4 + 6 = 10
