The given info in the post is not sufficient to solve the problem and to give an answer.
As the problem posed, it is DEFECTIVE and is a FAKE.
To see similar problems posed correctly, look into the lessons
- Problems on the area and the dimensions of a rectangle surrounded by a strip
- Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room
- Problems on a circular pool and a walkway around it
in this site.
I regularly observe the visitors at this forum, who,
without having knowledge on the subjects, try
to invent their own "problems", that are defective.
