1.	A game room has a perimeter of 70 ft. The length is five more than twice the width. How many ft2 of new carpeting should be ordered?
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Answer:- Given:- Perimeter = 70 feet Length = 5 + 2 times the breadth. To find:- Area of the game room. Let's Do! What we NEED to do is:- Consider the breadth as x. So length is 2x. $\sf{Perimeter = 2(L+B)}$ $\sf{70 = 2(x+2x+5)}$ $\sf{35 = 3x+5}$ $\sf{30 = 3x}$ $\sf{10 = x}$ Now, Length is 10 × 2 +5 = 25 feet And breadth is 10feet. Area = Length × Breadth = 10 × 25 $\boxed{\sf{Area = 250 ft^2}}$ Note:- Take the ratio constant as x. 2 x is TAKEN as it was given that the length is TWICE its breadth. A special vigil on the units. And NUMBER us greater than constants.
