The perimeter of a pool table is about 7.8m. four times the length equals nine times the width. What are the dimensions of the table in meters

Respuesta :

The pool's dimension are  l = 2.7 m and w = 1.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

The pool's perimeter = 7.8 m

Four times the pool's length = nine times the pool's width.

=> 4l = 9w  => l = ([tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]) w

Where l is the pool's length and w is the pool's width

Step 2:

The rectangle's formula for perimeter is 2 (l+w)

Substituting l = ([tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]) w ,

2[ ([tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]) w + w]  = 7.8 (given)

([tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]) w  = 7.8 = > w = 1.2 m

Step 3 :

l = ([tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]) w = ([tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]) 1.2 = 2.7

l = 2.7 m

Step 4 :

Answer :

The pool's dimension are  l = 2.7 m and w = 1.2 m
