5m x 11m
take the width of the room as ##x##, then the length of the room becomes ##x+6## according to the data.
i can take these data and write an equation as follows which shows the perimeter of the room
##32 = 2(x+6) + 2x##
##32 =4x+ 12##
##4x= 20##
##x= 5m## this is the width of the room
the length of the room = ## 5+ 6 = 11m##
so the dimensions of the room :
5m x 11m
