Question

A rectangular room is 6.8 meters longer than it is wide, and perimeter is 29.6 meters. Find the dimensions of the room.

Answer 1

Answer:

dimensions = 10.8  X 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Breadth/ width of room = x

Length of room =  6.8 + x

perimeter = 2 ( L + B )

29.6 = 2 ( 6.8 + x + x )

29.6/2 = 6.8 + 2x

14.8 - 6.8 = 2x

8 = 2x

8/2=x

4=x

Length of room =  6.8 + x = 6.8 + 4 = 10.8 m

Breadth/ width of room = x = 4m
