Question

The area of a rectangular room is 154 square feet. If the length of one side of
the room is 11 feet, what is the perimeter of the room?

Answer 1

Answer:

length=11

width=x

area=11×x

11x=154

x=14

Answer 2

The previous response give you the width but now the perimeter.

The full solution is as states:

Area = length x width
154 = 11w
Complete the Inverse Operation for Multiplication and Divide 154 by 11
14 = w ....therefore the width is 14 feet

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)
P = 2(11) + 2(14)
P = 22 + 28
P= 50 ....therefore the perimeter of the room is 50 feet
