Try another version of this question A rectangular room is `1.3` times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is `34` meters. Find the dimension of the room. The length is : meters and the width is meters. Box 1: Enter your answer as an integer or decimal number. Examples: 3, -4, 5.5172 Box 2: Enter your answer as an integer or decimal number. Examples: 3, -4, 5.5172
Start by writing the length in terms of width. We are told the length is `1.3` times the width. Using the perimeter formula, `P = 2L + 2W`, write it in terms of width and solve for W. Then, substitute W into the length equation.
