The perimeter of the floor of the room is 20 cm. Find the length and width of the room if the length is 1.5 times the width.

Let’s represent the width through the variable a.

Then we can write down the length in 1.5a.

Therefore, we get:

2 (a + 1.5a) = 20;

a = 4;

1.5 * 4 = 6.

Answer: Length 6m, width 4m.
