Procedure for Modeling Rectangular Dimensions
An office manager is ordering a custom rectangular conference table where the width must be 2 feet less than the length. According to the standard geometry problem-solving strategy, which dimension should be assigned the variable (such as ) first to simplify the translation of the width?
A facilities manager is ordering safety tape to mark the perimeter of a rectangular warehouse zone. The width of the zone is 10 feet less than the length (). The total perimeter is 120 feet. The manager uses the following equation to find the dimensions:
$120 = 2L + 2(L - 10)$
Match each part of this equation to the geometric component of the warehouse zone it represents.
