Louis wants to place carpet in his rectangular 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?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A=WxL
864 = 2/3 x L x L
864 = 2/3 L^2
864/2/3 = (2/3 L^2)/2/3
3x864/2=1296
1296=L^2
Square root of both is 36=L
So the width is 2/3 of 36, ore 24
