Area of Consuela's rectangular living room = 360 square feet
Let us assume the the length of the living room = x
Then
width of the living room = (5/8) * x
                                      = (5x/8)
Then
Area of the rectangle = Length * Width
360 = x * (5x/8)
360 = 5x^2/8
2880 = 5x^2
x^2 = 2880/5
x^2 = 576
x^2 = (24)^2 inches
x = 24
Then
The length of the rectangle is = 24 inches
And 
The Width of the rectangle is = 24 * (5/8) inches
                                               = 3 * 5 inches
                                               = 15 inches

What is the Pythagorean theorem and how do I use it?
Leviafan [203]
I actually just learned this in 8th grade and it was so easy its crazy but its honestly simple it helps you solve the triangles and things and the equation is a squared + b squared = c squared and the a and b you would plug in the sides of the triangle or whatever shape your working with and square those numbers then find c by adding the two and then you square the c at the end and that will be your answer.

Answer:

9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

First you'd do 3/5 x 3/4 because the denominators aren't the same. When you multiply them you get 9/20. That's your answer! If your not satisfied look it up on Google lol.
