Question

The perimeter of a room is 43 ft. The width is 9 1 2ft. What is the length?

Answer 1

$answer = 12 \: ft \\ solution \\ perimeter = 43 ft\\ breadth = 9 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{19}{2 } = 9.5 \: ft\\ now \\ perimeter \: of \: \: rectangle = 2(l + b) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: 43= 2(l + 9.5) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: 43 = 2l + 19 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: - 2l = 19 - 43 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: - 2l = - 24 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: l = \frac{ - 24}{ - 2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: l = 12 \: ft \\ hope \: it \: helps \\ good \: luck \: on \: your \: assignment$

Answer 2

Answer:

$length = 12ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

$width =9 \frac{1}{2} = 9.5$

Let's find the length

$perimeter \\43 = 2(l + w) \\ 43= 2(l + 9.5) \\ 43 = 2l + 19 \\ 43 - 19 = 2l \\ 24 = 2l \\ \frac{24}{2} = \frac{2l}{2} \\ l = 12$

hope this helps
