Question 760422: if the length of a table is 5 times greater than the width. the area is 104m^2 find the dimensions of the table

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Width = x
Length = 5x
Area = Length * width
104 = 5x * x
104 = 5x^2
x^2 = 104/5
x^2 = 20.8
x = sqrt%2820.8%29
x = 4.6m
Width = 4.6m
Length = 23m
Hope this helps.
