1. the perimeter of a rectangular carpet is 70 feet.the width is three-fourths the lenght.find the width.
P = 2(l + w)
70 = 2(l + (3/4)l]
35 = (7/4)l
l = 20
w = (3/4)20 = 15
-----------------------------
2. the length of a rectangular room is six times as long as the width. the perimeter is 84 yards. find the width.
84 = 2[w + 6w]
42 = 7w
w = 6
length = 36
-----------------------
3. the width of a rectangle is 12 units less than the lenght. the perimeter is 108 units. find the lenght.
108 = 2[l + (l-12)]
54 = 2l-12
2l = 66
l = 33
width = 33-12 = 21
-------------------------------
4. the lenght of a rectangular picture is seven inches longer than the width. find the lenght and width if the perimeter of the picture is 62 inches.
62 = 2[w + w+7]
31 = 2w+7
2w = 24
w = 12
l = 12+7 = 19
---------------------
