Question 818384: Jackson's bedroom has an area 90 square feet. The area of his bedroom is 9 time that of his closet. If the closet is 2 feet what is the length? Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area of the closet is 1/9 of the area of the 90 sqft bedroom.
So, the area of the closet is (1/9)*90 = 10 sqft.
The area of the closet is L * W
L * 2 = 10
Dividing each side by 2 we find L = 5 .
