Problema Solution
a rectangle is six times as long as wide. If the area is 150 ft^2. Find the length and width of the table.
the Width of the table is _____ ft
the length of the table is ___ft
Answer provided by our tutors
let the length be L and the width be W
L = 6W since it is 6 times as long as wide
area = L*W = 150
150 = L*W
150 = 6W(W)
150 = 6W2 divide both sides by 6
25 = W2
5 = W
so if W=5 and L = 6W, then L = 6*5, so L = 30
Therefore, the width is 5 ft and the length is 30 ft
