Juan would like to hang some rope lighting around the perimeter of his room. His room is in the shape of a rectangle with an area of 24 square meters. Juan knows the length of his room is 6 meters.

Part 1: What is the width of Juan’s room?

Part 2: How long should the rope lighting be so that it wraps around the perimeter of his room?

To find this:
Ok you know the area and area is length x width =area
fill it in: 6 x width=24
simplify 24 divided by 6 which is 4 (part 1)

Now you know the width and the length so 6+6+4+4 which is 20 (part 2)
