Question

A room has an area of 60 square meters and a perimeter of 32 meters. What are the length and width of the room?

Show me how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

this is your answer length=10
width=6

6+6+10+10=32
6×10=60

Answer 2

length=10
width=6

6+6+10+10=32
6×10=60

look at the factors of 60 and see what two could make 60 but also equal 32
