Question

The plans for a shed call for a rectangular floor with a perimeter of 192 ft. The length is two times the width. Find the length and width.

The width is ____ft

The length is ____ ft
p = 2 L + 2 w
192 = 2 L + 2 w

L = 2 w
so
192 = 2 (2w) + 2 w
192 = 6 w
w = 32 etc
Ms. Sue
P = 2L + 2W

192 = 2W + 2(2W)

192 = 6W

32 = W
