The basement has an area of 864 square feet. The width of the basement is 23 its length. What is the length of the basement?

Answer 1

864/23 = about 37.6 = Length

Area = LW

864= 23L

L = 864/23

But maybe you meant to write width = 23 times Length

then 864 = 23L^2

L^2 = 864/23

L = sqr(864/23) = about 6.13 = Length
