Hi there. First time poster here!
I have a problem with an assignment question and I would love some insight into what I am missing.
The problem:
Twelve equal rectangular ceiling panels are placed in a four long by three wide grid. Each panel is 150mm longer than it is wide. Between the panels runs an edge/middle strip which totals 40.0m in total length. (This runs round the whole perimeter and between each panel). By developing a system of linear equations what are the dimensions of the room?
I have spent all day playing with this and I just can't get it. It's something silly and basic no doubt but I can't see the answer for looking at it. If anyone can help I would very much appreciate.
Thanks!
Kyle
