Sam is going to put wooden baseboard around a rectangular bedroom. The length of the bedroom is 26 feet. The width is 1/2 of the length.

How many feet of baseboard does Sam need?

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36

ok thats very interesting
