Question 429197: Larry wants to buy some carpeting for his living room.The length of a room is 2 times the width and the total area of the room is 32 square meters,what is the length of the living room? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming Larry's living room is rectangular, the formula for the area of the room is length X width. Since the length is twice the width, we get:
2Width X Width =32
2W^2 = 32
W^2 = 16
W = 4
L = 2W = 8.
