Question 656851: the width of a rectangle is one third its length. if the area of the rectangle is 20sq.inch.,what are the dimension of the said figure?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width=w and length =l
w= (1/3)*l =l/3 .(1)
Area =20 inch^2
a= l*w
20 = l*l/3
20 = (l^2)/3
20*3 = l^2
l^2= 60
l= sqrt 60
w=l/3
w= (sqrt 60)/3
