Answer:

w = 20 ft

l = 30 ft

Explanation:

w = 2l/3

A = 600 = w·l = 2l/3·l

600 = 2l²/3

1800 = 2l²

900 = l²

l = √900

l = √30²

l = 30ft

w = 30·2/3

= 60/3

= 20ft

Answer:

length=30 ft breadth=20 ft

Explanation:

let lenght be x then breadth will be 2/3x

now, area=lenght×breadth

=>600 =(x×2/3x)

=>600=2/3x^2

=>x^2=900

=>x=30 (ft)

now length will be 30 ft

breadth will be 30×2/3 (ft) =20(ft) ✌️
