Question

The area of a rectangle is 46 square inches. If the length is 4 times the width, then find the dimensions of the rectangle. Round off your answers to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The dimensions of the rectangles to the nearest hundredth are

• length = 13.56 inches
• width = 3.39 inches

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is four sided plane figure which each pair of sides equal and opposite to each other. The sides intersect at an angle of 90 degrees.

Given data

Area of the rectangle = 46 square inches

length L = 4 * width W

area of a rectangle, A

A = L * W

46 = L * W

46 = 4w * w

46 = 4w^2

w^2 = 11.5

w = sqrt ( 11.5 )

w = 3.391 inches

w = 3.39 to the nearest hundredth

since L = 4w

L = 4 * 3.391

L = 13.564

L = 13.56 to the nearest hundredth
