Question 761797: A rectangular room is 1.5 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 27 meters. Find the dimension of the room.
Length:_____ meters
Width: _____meters
Round answers to 2 decimal places.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Width = x
Length 1.5x
Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width
27 = 2(1.5x) + 2(x)
27 = 3x + 2x
5x = 27
x = 5.4m
Width = 5.4m Length = 8.1m
Hope this helps.
