A table is rectangular and its length is twice its width. Find the dimensions of the table if it occupies 18 ft2 of floor space.

The answer would be length is 6, and width would be 3.
How to find the answer:
First you make combinations that multiply to 18 (because area is length times width)
2 x 9
3 x 6
6 x 3
9 x 2
since the last two are basically the same as the first two, you can get rid of those.
2 x 9
3 x 6
since 3 is half of 6 (and 2 isn't half of 9),
3 x 6 is the answer.
Hope this helps.
