The relationship between the length & the width of the closet and the length of the wall is an illustration of a linear equation.
Given that:
[tex]l = 2w[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]w = 0.5l[/tex]
Equation of f(l)
The sum of the length and the width is represented as: f(l).
So, we have:
[tex]f(l) = l + w[/tex]
Substitute [tex]w = 0.5l[/tex]
[tex]f(l) = l + 0.5l[/tex]
[tex]f(l) = 1.5l[/tex]
See attachment for the graph of f(l)
The desired dimension
From the question, we understand that the total length is 12m.
This means that:
[tex]f(l) = 12[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]1.5l = 12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.5
[tex]l = 8[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]w = 0.5l[/tex]
[tex]w = 0.5 \times 8[/tex]
[tex]w = 4[/tex]
Hence, the desired length and width are 8m and 4m, respectively.
