1. Let's call the short side 
and the long side 
.
2. The problem says that the short side is 1/3 the length of the long side. So, you can write the following expression:
3. The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:
4. Then, you must substitute and the value of the area into the formula and solve for (The long side):
5. Now, you can calculate (The short side):
Therefore, the answer is: 600 feet by 200 feet.

No table that shows that is posted with the question.
Answer: 20
20 since you have to divide 100 by 5 which equals 20 since you have to use the inverse operation of multiplication which is division.
Hope this helps!
On your paper, you wrote down a^2+b^2 = c^2 which is the pythagorean theorem
You are on the right track. You'll use this equation. In this case
a = 36
b = 18
c = 43
The value of a and b can be swapped. The value of c is always the longest side.
Let's see if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is true or not
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
36^2 + 18^2 = 43^2
1296 + 324 = 1849
1620 = 1849
The last equation is false so the first equation is false when a = 36, b = 18 and c = 43
We do NOT have a right triangle so we do NOT have a rectangle
Answer: No, the table is not "square" (ie, have right angles at the corners)
