Question

A rectangular room is

4
meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is
32
meters. Find the dimension of the room.
Find the length and the width.

Answer 1

Answer: 60 m squared dimensions

6 m width

10 m length

Explanation:

subtract 8 from the perimeter to account for 2 sides having the extra length then divide the answer by 4 to get the length if all the sides were equal

32-8=24

24/4=6

then add the 4 m back to the answer to get the length
