Answer:

The dimension of the rug would be 17 ft × 9 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

length of the room = 27 ft.

width of the room = 19 ft.

suppose, she leaves a uniform strip of x ft. around the rug.

So,

The length of rug = (27-2x)ft.

Width of rug= (19-2x)ft.

∴ Area of the rug= length×width

                            =  (27-2x)(19-2x)

                            =  513-54x-38x+4x^2

                            =   513-92x+4x^2

According to the question,

513-92x+4x^2=153

513-92x+4x^2-153=0        ( subtract 153 both sides)

4x^2-92x+360=0

4(x^2-23x+90)=0

x^2-23x+90=0

x^2-(18+5)x+90=0            ( Middle term splitting)

x^2-18x-5x+90=0

x(x-18)-5(x-18)=0

(x-5)(x-18)=0

x-5=0 or x-18=0             ( zero product property)

x=5 or x=18

if x=18, dimension would be negative  ( Not possible)

Thus, x= 5

Hence,

length of rug= 27-10=17 ft.

width of rug= 19-10=9 ft.
