The perimeter of a rectangular room is 208 feet. Find the length and width of the room if the length is 2 feet longer than twice the width
Solution
Given perimeter of a rectangular room is 208 feet.
Need to find the length and width of the room.
Let the length is L feet and width is W feet.
Given the length is 2 feet longer than twice the width.
L = 2W + 2
Perimeter = 208 feet.
2(L + W) = 208
L+W = 104
2W + 2 + W = 104
3W = 104 -2 =102
W = 34 feet.
Length (L) = 2W + 2
= 2(34) + 2
= 68 + 2
= 70 feet.
Therefore, Length (L) = 70feet and Width(W) = 34feet
