Problema Solution
The perimeter of a rectangular table is 488 centimeters. If the length of the table is 28 centimeters more than twice the width of the table, find the dimensions of the table
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'w' represent the width of the table, then '2w+28' represents the length. Perimeter is 2*width + 2*length:
2w+2(2w+28)=488
w=72
2*72+28=172
So the table is 72 by 172 centimeters.
