Let the length be (1/2x+7) and the width be x:
Perimeter = 2(length+width) = 134
2(1/2x+7+x) = 134
Multiply out the brackets:
x+14+2x = 134
Collect like terms and subtract 14 from both sides:
3x = 120
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 40
Therefore: length = 27 meters and width = 40 meters
Check: 27+27+40+40 = 134 meters
134M
134 picometers is 0.000000000134m
1 ft = 0.3048m 1/12 mile = 440 ft = 440 x 0.3048m = 134.112m ≈ 134m
The height of the lighthouse of Alexandria was estimated to have been between 115 and 135 m, or 380 and 440 ft, as 10th century travellers reported it as being 300 cubits high. To give a comparison, a 40 storey modern building is about 134m in height.
