Question

The area of a rectangle is 52 in.² if the length is two times the width find the dimensions of the rectangle round off your answers to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

L = 10.20

w = 5.51 Do the doubling before the rounding. The zero is needed in the length.

Explanation:

Area = 52 in^2

Area = L * w

L = 2*w

Area = 2w * w = 52

2w^2 = 52 Divide by 2

w^2 = 26 Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(w^2) = sqrt(26)

w = 5.5099

L = 10.198
