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.

<u>Answer:</u>

Width = 3 meters

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that for an equipment storage room, it is 2 meters longer than its width and the perimeter of this room is 16 meters.

Given the above information, we are to find the width of the room.

Perimeter = 2l+2w

Supposing x to be the width and x+2 to the length, we can write it as:

16=2(x)+2(x+2)

16=2x+2x+4

12=4x

x=\frac{12}{4}

x = 3

Therefore, the width = 3 meters.
