Question

A contractor figured out that 56 feet of baseboard trim was needed to go around the perimeter of a rectangular room. If the room is 12 feet wide, how long is the room?
GPT 3.5
Let L be the length of the room.

Since the room is rectangular, the perimeter can be calculated as 2(L + 12) = 56.

2L + 24 = 56

2L = 32

L = 16 feet

Therefore, the length of the room is 16 feet.
