the width of a strip of land is 2/3 of its length. the area of the land is 600 square yards. what are the dimensions of the land

Question

I need to find this answer for a homework problem. it is due tomorrow at eight o clock in the morning

Answer 1

This is a rectangle so the area is length times width, A=L*W. And the width is 2/3 its length, so multiply the fraction by the length and set it equal to the width, W=(2/3)L.

So,

W=(2/3)L

A=600 square yards.

Plug this into the area equation and solve for both W and L.
