the rectangle in the room is 2 times as long as it is wide, its perimeter is 34 meters. find the dimension

Answer 1

so we have a rectangle with length 2x and width x with a perimeter of 34 meters.

so x + x + 2x + 2x = 34

6x = 34

x = 17/3 (width)

2x = 34/3 (length)

So the dimensions are 17/3 by 34/3.
