Answer:

length 42 cm and width 26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Since Brian tied 136 foot rope around the perimeter , hence perimeter of house is 136 foot.

Given that shape of house is rectangular.

formula to calculate perimeter of rectangle can be used which is 2*(L+B)

where L is length of rectangle and B width of rectangle

Let the L and B be length of rectangular side of house

According to question

length of house is 10 feet less than twice the width of house

mathematically it can be represented as

L = 2*B - 10  --->eq. 1

Perimeter of house = 136 feet

using formula of Perimeter of rectangle

136 = 2*(L+B)

substituting the value of length in terms of width from eq. 1 in formula of perimeter

=> 136/2 = 2*B - 10 + B  (2*B+ B = 3B)

=> 68 = 3*B - 10

=> 78 = 3*B

B = 78/3 = 26

Therefore B which is width = 26 CM

length = 2*B - 10= 26*2 - 10 = 52-10=42

length of house = 42  cm

Hence dimension of Brian's house is length 42 cm and width 26 cm
