The length of a rectangular room is 4 feet longer than twice the width. If the room’s perimeter is 140 feet, what are the room’s dimensions?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Width = 22ft  Length = 48ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 2(w) + 4

I personally first picked a random number (20) and I got 128, so I knew I had to pick a larger number.

I skipped up to 22 and this is what I did.

W = 22(2) <--(Since there are two width sides) = 44

L = 2(w) + 4

L = 2(22) + 4

L = 44 + 4 = 48

48(2) <--(Since there are two length sides) = 96

96 + 44 = 140

Hope this helps!
