Question 277536
find the area of a rectangular playground that is 2700^2 ft the length is 3 times the width

do you mean the playground is 2700 square feet (ft^2) or 2700^2 square feet (ft^2) ?

hmmm didn't you already tell me the area? maybe you want the dimensions?

A area rectangle = L length rectangle * W width rectangle
L = 3W
A = 3W * W = 3W^2
answer 1, if A = 2700 ft^2 = 3W^2
                  900 = W^2
                  30 = W then L = 90
answer 2, if A = 2700^2 ft^2 = 3W^2
                 7290000 = 3W^2
                  2430000 = W^2
                  100*sqrt(243) = W
                  1558.846 approx = W
                  then L = 4676.537
I think surely you meant for answer 1.
