Problema Solution
a rectangular table is six times as long as it is wide. If the area is 150ft^2, find the length and the width of the table
The width of the table is ___ ft.
The length of the table is ___ ft.
Answer provided by our tutors
L = length
W = width
L = 6W
A = L*W = 6W * W = 6 W^2 = 150
W^2 = 150/6 = 25
W = sqrt(25) = 5 feet wide
L = 6W = 6*5 = 30 feet long
