The perimeter of a rectangular movie screen at a local cinema is 148 feet. If the length of the screen is 30 feet longer than th e width, what is the length of the screen, in feet?
1 answer:
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
l = length
w = width
In this problem,
w = x
l = x + 30
the perimeter = 148
Let's plug our values into the perimeter formula above.
148ft = 2(x + x + 30ft)
Combine like terms.
148ft = 2(2x + 30ft)
Distribute the 2
148ft = 4x + 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
88ft = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
22ft = x
The width = x = 22ft
The length = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52ft
