- A rectangular table is two times as long as it is wide. If the area is 72 ft^2, find the length and the width of the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

area = 72 ft²

let the width of the table be x and length be 2x

we know,

Area = length × breadth/width

so,

after inserting the values we got,

→ 2x × x = 72

→ 2x² = 72

→ x² = 72/2 = 36

→ x = √36 = 6

→ x = 6

therefore,

length = 2x = 2×6 = 12 ft.

breadth = x = 6ft.

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
