Answer:

width = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the door

and w be its width

The statement “The height of the door is I foot more than twice its width”

can be translated mathematically like this :  h = 2w + 1

Let’s solve the equation for w:

h = 2w + 1

⇔ 2w = h - 1

[tex]\Leftrightarrow w=\frac{h-1}{2}[/tex]

now , if the door is 7 feet high then it’s width is equal to :

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{7-1}{2} =\frac{6}{2} =3 \ ft[/tex]

Answer:

3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It mentions that the height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width.

  • height (h) = 2 × width (w) + 1 foot

The width of a door of height 7 feet will be :

  • 7 feet = 2 × width (w) + 1 foot
  • 2× width (w) = 6 feet
  • width (w) = 3 feet
