Question

The area of the rectangle is 68 square units. Notice that you can divide the rectangle into two squares with equal area. How can you estimate the side length of each​ square? Estimate the length and width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

let "L" represent the length of the rectangle

let "W" represent the width of the rectangle

Area of the rectangle = LW

68= LW --------eqn 1

Area of a square = L/2 ×L/2

34= L^2/4

136=L^2

L= 11.67

From eqn 1 , W=68/L

W=68/11.6619

W=5.83
