The breadth of the room is one third of its length. If the parimeter of the room is 64 daimeter, find length and breath of the room.
.
Think of "breath" as "width".
.
Let x = length
then
x/3 = width
.
2(x + x/3) = 64
x + x/3 = 32
3x + x = 96
4x = 96
x = 24 (length)
.
breath:
x/3 = 24/3 = 8 (breath)
