Question: The length of a pool table is two times its width.The perimeter of the table is 30 ft. Find the length of the pool table.


A ) 12 ft
B ) 9 ft
C ) 20 ft
D ) 10 ft

Steps to derive

1 The perimeter of the pool table is 30 ft and length is two times its width.

2 Let w be the width of the rectangular pool table.
 [Pool table will be rectangular shape.]

3 So, length = 2w
 [Given, length of the table is two times its width.]

4 Perimeter of the pool table = 2(length + width).

 [Substitute the values.]
5 30 ft = 2(2w + w)

 [Work inside the group.]
6 30 ft = 2(3w)

 [Multiply.]
7 30 ft = 6w

 [Divide by 6 on both sides.]
8 306ft = 6w6

 [Simplify.]
9 w = 5 ft

10 Length = 2w = 2 x 5 = 10 ft
 [Replace w with 5.]

11 The length of pool table is 10 ft



Hence the right answer is Option D
