Question 490129: a retangular carpet has a perimeter of 182 inches. the length of the carpet is 73 inches more then the width. what are the dimentions of the carpet? Answer by KevinSkullxox(4) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 182 inches
Width = x
Length = 73 + x
Perimeter = 2 X length + 2 X width
2( 73+x ) + 2x = 182
146 + 2x + 2x = 182
4x + 146 = 182
4x = 182-146
4x = 36
x = 9
Width = 9 inches
Length = 73 + 9 = 82 inches
