Question

S. The area of a stage for a concert is 216 square feet. The length is 6 times the width. Find the dimensions of

the stage

Answer 1

Width=6 Length=36

Explanation:

The stage is rectangular since the length is not equal to width.

We use the formula (Width × Length) to obtain the area of any rectangle.

But the Length is 6 times the Width, therefore we equate the formula for the area of stage as

Width × 6Width = 216

we get Width as 6 and 6width which is the length as 36
