Answer: The length is 12 ft.
Explanation:
So a room is likely to be in a shape of a rectangle. And to to find the perimeter of a rectangle will use the formula P = 2w + 2l so in this case we know the perimeter and and the width but we need to find the length.
so using the formula we could do this
43 = 2(9.5) + 2l
43 = 19 + 2l subtract 19 from both sides
-19 -19
24 = 2l Divide both sides by 2
l = 12
The length is 12.
Check: 43 = 2(9.5) + 2(12)
43 = 19 + 24
43 = 43 correct so the length is 12.
