Marcus is building a rectangular box for his kitten to sleep in. He wants the area of the bottom of the box to be 360 square inches and the length of one side to be 1 3/5 the length of the other side. What should the dimensions of the bottom of the bed be?

Answer 1

You want one side to be s and the other side 1.6s
s*1.6s = 360
