Answer:
The dimensions of the room is 8 feet × 12 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the house, A = 96 ft²
The link is 12 feet less than three times the width of the room .
Let the width of the room is x.
Length = 3x-12 ...(1)
The area of a rectangular room is given by :
A = lb
96 = (3x-12)x
[tex]3x^2-12x-96=0\\\\x^2-4x-32=0\\\\x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\x(x-8)+4(x-8)\\\\(x+4)(x-8)=0\\\\x=-4,8[/tex]
Neglecting negative value, width = 8 feet
Put x = 8 in equation (1)
Length = 3(8) - 12
= 12 feet
Hence, the dimensions of the room is 8 feet × 12 feet.
