Question

A rectangular room is 3 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 32 meters. Find the dimensions ofthe room.The length is :

meters and the width is
meters.

Answer 1

Width = 4m

Length = 12 m.

Explanation:

Let width = x, then length = 3x.

Perimeter

= 2(3x + x) = 32

2 * 4x = 32

x = 32 / 8 = 4 m.

The length = 3*4 = 12m and width = 4 m.
