when basket build a doghouse he knew he wanted the floor of the house to have an area of 24 square feet he also wanted the width to be 2/3 the length what are the dimensions of a doghouse

Respuesta :

Use the formula for the area of a rectangle, and substitute the information you know.
.. A = L*W
.. 24 ft² = L*(2/3)L
.. 36 ft² = L² . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2
.. 6 ft = L . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
.. W = (2/3)L = (2/3)(6 ft) = 4 ft.

The doghouse is 4 ft wide by 6 ft long.
