A rectangular room is 1.8 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 26 meters. Find the dimension of the room.

Question

I just need answer.  Thank you

Answer 1

Let w = the width

Let 1.8w = the length

P = 2l + 2w

26 = 2(1.8w) + 2w

26 = 3.6w + 2w

26 = 5.6w

w ≈ 4.64 meters

length ≈ 1.8(4.64) ≈ 8.36 meters
