Question 414292: A farmer wants to have a rectangular garden which is 350m^2 in area.
a. How do we find the area of a rectangle?
b. Make a table of some possible lengths and widths which the garden can ahve. Describe how the length and width are related to one another.
c. Explain why the relationship is is one of inverse variation? What is the ratio of proportionality?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(area) =(length)*(width)
A+=+L%2AW
----------
350+=+35%2A10
350+=+70%2A5
350+=+50%2A7
350+=+25%2A14
------------
The area is the result of multiplying 2 variables
L+=+A%2A%281%2FW%29
If I'm given A+=+10, for instance, then I can plot
L on vertical axis and W on horizontal
L+=+10%2A%281%2FW%29
