A rectangular table is six times as long as it is wide.If the area is 150 ft^2, Find the leght and the width of the table.
The width of the table is ___ft
the leght of the table is ___ft.
A rectangular table is six times as long as it is wide.If the area is 150 ft^2, Find the leght and the width of the table.
Let the width=W, then
6W=Length, but we have:
W X 6W=150
6W^2=150 divide both sides by 6
W^2=25 take the sqrt of both sides
W=5 feet-the width
L=5 X 6=30 feet-the length
