Answer:
I. Length, L = 9.552 meters
II. Width, W = 7.96 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length = L
Let the width = W
Given the following data;
Perimeter = 35 m
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
Length = 1.2W
To find the dimension of the room;
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;
P = 2(L + W)
Substituting into the formula, we have;
35 = 2(1.2W + W)
35 = 2(2.2W)
35 = 4.4W
Width, W = 7.96 meters
Next, we would find the length of the rectangle;
L = 1.2*W
L = 1.2 * 7.96
Length, L = 9.552 meters
