Answer:

The length is 7.50metres and the width is 5metres

Explanation:

Given the following

Length = 1.5Width

Perimeter = 25m

Required

Dimension of the room

Perimeter of the rectangular room = 2(L+W)

Since L = 1.5W

P = 2(1.5W+W)

P = 2(2.5W)

P = 5.0W

25 = 5W

W = 25/5

W = 5metres

Since L = 1.5W

L = 1.5*5

L = 7.5meters

The length is 7.50metres and the width is 5metres
