* Lin had a rectangular carpet. It was too large for her living room, and so on each side of the carpet, she cut a stripe 1 foot wide. As a result, the area of the carpet became 26 ft2 smaller. What was the original perimeter of the carpet?

Respuesta :

The new area is (x-2)(y-2), the area is xy-2(x+y)+4, and the difference is 2(x+y)-4, which is 26. x+y=15, so the perimeter is 2*15=30 feet.
