The area of a rectangle is 735 in squared. The ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 3. Find the length and the width.

Length = 35

Width = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the area of a rectangle is 735 in squared and that the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 3.

To find the length and the width of the rectangle goes thus. We should note that the area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width.

Therefore, 5x × 3x = 735

15x² = 735

x² = 735/15

x² = 49

x = ✓49

x = 7

Recall that length = 5x = 5 × 7 = 35

Width = 3x = 3 × 7 = 21

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
