Answer: I have worked this problem several times and come up the correct answer could be 4 or 5 meters.
Step-by-step explanation: If the width is 4 m times 2 sides = 8 m and the length would be 8 m times 2 sides = 16 m for a total of 24 m.
However if the width is 5 m times 2 sides = 10 m and the length would be 7 m times 2 sides = 14 m for a total of 24 m.
The legnth is 8 meters and the width is 4 meters of the equipment storage.
The perimeter is defined as the sum of all the sides of the figure. Given that room is 4 meters longer than its width.
The legnth and the width are calculated as:-
P = 24
L =w + 4
P = 2[( L + w )]
P = 2 [ w + 4 + w ]
P = 2 [ 2w + 4 ]
P = 4w + 8
24 = 4w + 8
w = 16 / 4
w = 4 meters
Length is calculated as:-
L = 4 + 4 = 8 meters.
Hence, the length is 8 meters and the width is 4 meters.
