A rectangle is 4 times as long as it is wide. Its area is 84km^2.Find the dimensions to decimalplaces.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

L = 4W   (given).


Area S = L*W = (4W)*W =  = 84.

Hence,   =  = 21.

Then  W =  = 4.583 km.

Then L = 4W = 4*4.583 = 18.303 km.

Answer.  The dimensions of the rectangle are  4.583 km  and  18.303 km.
