To find the length of the rug, we need to first calculate the total perimeter.
Perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)
Given that the width is 7 feet, and the total perimeter is 34 feet, we can plug in these values and solve for the length:
34 = 2(7) + 2(length)
34 = 14 + 2(length)
20 = 2(length)
10 = length
Therefore, the length of the rug is 10 feet.
