Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the room is   180 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular room with dimensions:

width  =  70  ft       and  length    "x" (unknown)

Perimeter of a rectangle   is   2*w  +  2*x    and according to problem statement 500 ft of lights will fit exactly in room perimeter then:

2*70  +  2*x   =  500

140  + 2*x  =  500

2*x  =  500 - 140

2*x  = 360

x  = 360/2

x  =  180  ft
