Louis wants to carpet the rectangular floor of his basement. The basement has an area of 864 square feet. The width of the basement is 2/3 it's length. What is the length of Louis's basement?

Respuesta :

Area of a rectangle = length * width.
So  L * w = 864
But w = 2/3L
So we have L * 2/3L = 864
L^2 = 864 * 3/2 = 1296
L = âš 1296 
L= 36  and width = 2/3 * 36 = 72/3 = 24
