The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, and the width of the rectangle is 4 inches if the table runner has an area of 80 square inches. The length and width of the table runner are whole numbers. The length is 5 times greater than the width.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area of rectangle = length × width

The area of the table runner = 80 square inches

Let's assume the length of the rectangle is L and the width is W

Then L = 5×W ...(1)

L×W = 80 ...(2)

Put the value of L in the equation (2)

5W(W) = 80

5W² = 80

W² = 16

W = ±4

Width cannot be negative.

W = 4 inches putting this value in the equation (1)

L = 5(4) = 20 inches

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 20 inches, and the width of the rectangle is 4 inches if the table runner has an area of 80 square inches. The length and width of the table runner are whole numbers. The length is 5 times greater than the width.
