    length = 9.625 m

    width = 6.875 m

    Explanation:

    You will need the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. P = 2 (l + w)

    "l" (lowercase L) means the length.

    "w" means the width.

    "P" means perimeter.

    Take the information from the question and turn it into equations.

    l = 1.4w 1.4 times long as it is wide

    P = 33 perimeter is 33 meters

    Use the equation for perimeter and replace the letters with the other equations.

    P = 2 (l + w)

    33 = 2 (1.4w + w) Collect like terms in brackets (1.4w + 1w = 2.4w)

    33 = 2 (2.4w) Multiply

    33 = 4.8w Divide both sides by 4.8 to isolate 'w'

    w = 6.875 Width of room

    Use the equation for length. Substitute the width to find the length.

    l = 1.4w

    l = 1.4 (6.875) Multiply

    l = 9.625 Length of room

    Therefore the length is 9.625 meters and the width is 6.875 meters.
