Can anyone help me please?
Am I the only one?
1.5x * x = 1350
1.5x^2 = 1350
x^2 = 1350/1.5
x^2 = 900
x = 30 inches
Then
Length of the longer side = 1.5 * 30 inches
= 45 inches
1.5x^2 = 1350
x^2 = 1350/1.5
x^2 = 900
x = 30 inches
Then
Length of the longer side = 1.5 * 30 inches
= 45 inches
30 inches by 45 inches
I believe the answer is 30 inches by 40. Hope this helps.
Oops, I meant 30 by 45.
Thank you all, this was well needed. Have a blessed day!
