Question

The area of a rectangular hotel room is 260 square feet. The perimeter is 66 feet. What are the dimensions of the room?

Answer 1

Length + width = half the perimeter

66/2 = 33 feet

Length  +  width = 33 feet

List the factors of 260: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130 and 260.

Find the two factors that when added together equal 33:

13 + 20 = 33

The dimensions are 13 feet by 20 feet
