Question

The Area of a Rectangle is 75. The length is 3 times the

width. Find the Width.
04
06
0 5
08

Answer 1

the width of the rectangle is 5.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the width of the rectangle is x. Then, according to the problem statement, the length of the rectangle would be 3x.

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Area = Length x Width

Substituting the values of length and width in the formula, we get:

75 = (3x) x (x)

Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:

75 = 3x^2

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

25 = x^2

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x = ±5

Since the width cannot be negative, we take the positive value of x, which is 5.

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 5
