Area of Rectangle= Length * Widthsubstitute the area and the value of L in the formula 28,800 m^2= 2W * W 28,800= 2W^2divide both sides by 2 in an effort to isolate the variable w 14,400= W^2take the square root of both sides √14,400= W^2 we want the negative and positive root of the radicand (the number under the radical symbol - 14,400 in this case) 120= w OR -120= w
LENGTHL= 2W= 2(120)= 240 meters
ANSWER: The side lengths are W= 120 m; L= 240 m. Even though W= -120 too, it is not a valid solution in this case since a field cannot have a negative value.
So Congruent. Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size. Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
