Question

A rectangular table is six times as long as it is wide. If the area is 94ft^2, find the length and width of the table.​

Answer 1

23.76 Length and 3.96 Width

Explanation:

Area of rectangle = length x width

With the information provided in the question:

Area of rectangle = (6xlength) x width

If it's 6 times greater then we can conclude that l = w.

So,

94 = length^2

15.667 = length^2

length = 3.96

Substitute 3.95 in the experssion:

3.96 x 6 = 23.76 (Length)

3.96 Width
