A rectangular room has a width 1.6 times its length, and its perimeter is 26 meters. Find the dimension of the room, round to the hundredth place.

The dimension of the room is Length of 5m and Width of 8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2(L + W)

Where;

L is length

W is width

We are given;

Width; W = 1.6L

Perimeter; P = 26 m

Thus;

2(1.6L + L) = 26

2(2.6L) = 26

5.2L = 26

L = 26/5.2

L = 5 m

W = 1.6 * 5

W = 8 m
