A rectangular table is three times as long as it is wide. If the area is 75ft^2,findthe length and the width of the table.
The widthof the table is ___ft
The length of the table is __ft.
Let the width be W ..... and the length is 3 times this = 3W
And the area = L * W .....so
3W * W = 75 divide both sides by 3
W * W = 25
W^2 = 25 take the positve square root of both sides
W = 5 ft
And the length is 3 times this = 15 ft
