The plans for a shed call for a rectangular floor with a perimeter of 186 ft. The length is two times the width. Find the length and width.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  length: 62 ft

  width: 31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width. Then the length is 2w and the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(L+W)

  186 = 2(2w +w)

  31 = w . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  2w = 2(31) = 62

The length of the shed is 62 feet; its width is 31 feet.
