A rectangles length and width are in a ratio of 6:1. The area is 150 square feet. What are the length and width?
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let x=width of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "let y=length of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "y/x=6/1
\n" ); document.write( "y=6x
\n" ); document.write( "length*width=area
\n" ); document.write( "y*x=150
\n" ); document.write( "6x*x=150
\n" ); document.write( "6x^2=150
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=150/6=25
\n" ); document.write( "x=5
\n" ); document.write( "y=6*5=30
\n" ); document.write( "width of rectangle=5 ft
\n" ); document.write( "length of rectangle=30 ft \n" ); document.write( "
