Question

A rectangle table is five times as long as it is wide if the area is 245ft2, find the length and the width of the table

Answer 1

 there are 2 equations are give and there also two unknowns are given

length * width = 245 ft^2

length = 5* width

(5*width) *width = 245 

and solving it for width we get

wdith ^2 = 245/5

width = 7ft

putting values into the equation 

length = 5*7 = 35
