Question 52319: find the width and the length if the area is 18.75

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming the object your talking about is a rectangle...
let l = length
let w = width
l%2Aw=18.75
But of course, we can have an infinite amount of either length or width.
1*18.75 will work, also 2*9.375 or 4*4.6875... Actually we have so many possiblites that it will require a graph to tell us
Using a graphing caluculator, type Y=%2818.75%2Fx%29, The graph tells us of all the possible answers
