Question 259483: A rectangular table is three times as long as it is wide. If the area is 48ft^2, find the length and the width of the table. Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L=3W
AREA=LW
48=3W*W
3W^2=48
W^2=48/3
W^2=16
W=SQRT(16)
W=4 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
L=3*4=12 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
48=4*12
48=48
