Answer:

Length = 16 feet.

Width = 7 feet

Height = 8 feet

Volume = 896 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a rectangular prism boiler room. 112 square feet is the floor area of the room.

Let the length of the room is L feet and width is W feet.

So, LW = 112 ...... (1)

Now, given that L = 2 + 2W ........ (2) , hence, from equation (1) we get  

(2 + 2W)W = 112

⇒ 2w + 2w² = 112

⇒ W² + W - 56 = 0

⇒ (W +8)(W - 7) = 0

⇒ W = 7 feet. {Neglecting the negative root as W can not be negative}

Hence, from equation (2) we get L = 2W + 2 = 16 feet.

Now, 1 foot more than the width is the height H.

Hence, H = 7 + 1 = 8 feet.

Therefore, the volume of the room is, V = LWH = 16 × 7 × 8 = 896 cubic feet. (Answer)

People = 1 - 1/2 - 1/3

Evaluate

People = 1/6

Hence, 1/6 of the people are not elderly or men
