The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 80 square units. Notice that you can divide the rectangle into two squares with equal area. How can you estimate the side length of each square? Estimate the length and width of the rectangle.

Width of the rectangle = 6.325 units

Length of the rectangle = 12.65 units

Side length of the square the 6.325 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 80 square units.

The area of the rectangle = Length × Width

Length = 2W

80 square units = 2W × W

80 = 2W²

W² = 80/2

W² = 40

W = √40

Width of the rectangle = 6.3245553203 units

Approximately = 6.325 units

Length = 2 × Width

= 2 × 6.325

= 12.65 units

• Notice that you can divide the rectangle into two squares with equal area. How can you estimate the side length of each square?

We you divide a rectangle into 2 squares,

The length is divided into two.

Hence, the length of the rectangle = 12.65 units

12.65 units ÷ 2 = 6.325 units.

Hence, the side length of the square the 6.325 units.
