A rectangle has a width of 2(square root of 5)and an area of 50 cm^2. Find the length of the rectangle. Does anyone know how to explain this problem?
Answered by Reiny
L x W = Area
2√5L = 50
L = 50/(2√5)
x = appr. 11.2 cm


(check: 11.2 x 2√5 = 50.08)
Answered by Reiny
meant to say

L = appr. 11.2 cm

Find 3 different composite numbers whose GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is 1? (Hint- A composite number factors other than 1 and itself.)
Answered by Reiny
5√5 is appr 11.2 like I had

my exact answer was 25/√5

multiply top and bottom by √5 to get
25(√5)/(√5*√5)
= 25√5/5
= 5√5
