A rectangular room is 6 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 32 meters. How do you find the dimension of the room?

5m x 11m

take the width of the room as ##x##, then the length of the room becomes ##x+6## according to the data.

i can take these data and write an equation as follows which shows the perimeter of the room

##32 = 2(x+6) + 2x## ##32 =4x+ 12## ##4x= 20## ##x= 5m## this is the width of the room

the length of the room = ## 5+ 6 = 11m##

so the dimensions of the room : 5m x 11m
