Quote: The width of a sign is 1/5 times the length, and the total area of the sign is 200 square in.
What is the length and width of the sign?
width = length/5
area = length * width = length * length/5 = length
2/5 = 200
length
2 = 5*200 = 1000
length = sqrt(1000) = 10*sqrt(10)
width = length/5 = 2*sqrt(10)
