Answer:
3 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the storage room is a rectangle, like most rooms, no indication it is otherwise.
We know it's a rectangle and not a square because it is longer than wide.
We have the perimeter measurement (16 meters).
So, we can make the following equation:
2x + 2y = 16
x being the width of the room, y being it's length. A perimeter is the sum of all sides.
We also know the room is 2 meters longer than wide... so:
y = x + 2
If we replace y in the first equation by its value relative to x, we get:
2x + 2(x + 2) = 16 which becomes
2x + 2x + 4 = 16
4x =12
thus x = 3
Width: 3 meters
Length: 5 meters.
Confirms the 16 meters perimeter.

Answer:
She has approximately 3 pieces ( 2.625)
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of pieces, we need to divide the length of the wire by the individual length of the pieces.
To get the division done, it would be easier to convert what we have into improper fractions
For the piece of wire, the length which is 4 and 3/8 centimeters long will be 35/8 centimeters
while;
the individual length of each of the piece which is 1 and 2/3 centimeters long will be 5/3 centimeters
The number of pieces is thus 35/8 divided by 5/3 = 35/8 * 3/5 = 21/8 = 2.625 which is approximately 3 pieces
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is: sum of bases*height*1/2
By plugging in the information that we already have, we know: (119+65)*height*1/2=5658
184*1/2*height=5658
92*height=5658
height=61.5cm.
Check:
119+65=184
184*61.5=11316
11316*1/2=5658
