The length of a rectangle is 55 times the width. the area is 845845 square yards. find the length and width of the rectangle.

Width = w

Length = 55 times w. Therefore, length = 55w

Area = width ⋅ length

Area = w ⋅ 55w

845,845 = 55w ⋅ w

845,845 = 55

Divide both sides by 55 to get "w" by itself.

= 

15,379 = 

Now, take the square root of *both* sides in order to solve for "w."



The square root of 15,379 simplifies to 13.

Therefore, width equals 13 and length equals 55 times that.

Length equals 715.

Practically, you'll want to round those values (to the nearest hundredth is sufficient).

For a rectangle that is 845,845 , the width is roughly 124.01 yards and the length is 6820.67 yards.

Um what? rephrase that ?
