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)
