Answer:
≅ 586.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Take x to be the width, if the length is 5x bigger than the width, then this can be shown by 5x.
The total perimeter is:
(2 * x) + (2 * 5x) because each side has another parallel one.
This means that 2x + 10x = 130
12x = 130
Divide both sides by 12:
x =
So the area = length * width
x * 5x = area
Substitute the values in:
= 586.8055... ≅ 586.8
So the approximate area is 586.8

An irrational number is a number that can't be written as a simple fraction while a rational number is a number that can be written as the ratio of two integers, that is, as a simple fraction. So in this case we have the number 2 which is ration, and we can multiply it by an irrational number such that the product is an irrational number. So any irrational number will meet our requirement because the product of any rational number and an irrational number will lead to an irrational number. For instance:
