cynthia besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 14ft wide and 23 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug. She can afford to buy 190 square feet of carpeting. What dimensions should the rug have?5

Respuesta :

the room is 14w and 23 l

she can buy up to 190 sqft

190 factors into 10 and 19

14 - 10 = 4
23 - 19 = 4
Which are uniform

so the answer is 10 ft wide and 19 ft long

Hope this helps
