Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the floor plan = Length × Width
= (x + 12)(x + 8)
Area of the living space = Area of the floor plan - Area of the square observation decks
= (x + 12)(x + 8) - 2x²
= x² + 20x + 96 - 2x²
= -x² + 20x + 96
Since, area of the living space is 196 square feet,
-x² + 20x + 96 = 196
-x² + 20x - 100 = 0
x² - 20x + 100 = 0
(x - 10)² = 0
x = 10
Length of the rectangular floor = (x + 12) = 22 ft
Width of the rectangular floor = (x + 8) = 18 ft
Area of each observation deck = x² = 100 square ft
Perimeter of living space = x + x + 8 + 12 + x + x + 8 + 12
= 4x + 40
= 80 ft
Perimeter of the rectangle formed by observation deck and living space will be = 2(x + 8) + 2(x + 12)
= 4x + 40
= 80 ft
