The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, and the width of the rectangle is 4 inches if the table runner has an area of 80 square inches. The length and width of the table runner are whole numbers. The length is 5 times greater than the width.
What is the area of the rectangle?
It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.
The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:
Area of rectangle = length × width
The area of the table runner = 80 square inches
Let's assume the length of the rectangle is L and the width is W
Then L = 5×W ...(1)
L×W = 80 ...(2)
Put the value of L in the equation (2)
5W(W) = 80
5W² = 80
W² = 16
W = ±4
Width cannot be negative.
W = 4 inches putting this value in the equation (1)
L = 5(4) = 20 inches
Thus, the length of the rectangle is 20 inches, and the width of the rectangle is 4 inches if the table runner has an area of 80 square inches. The length and width of the table runner are whole numbers. The length is 5 times greater than the width.
