Answer: Length = 35
Width = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the area of a rectangle is 735 in squared and that the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 3.
To find the length and the width of the rectangle goes thus. We should note that the area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width.
Therefore, 5x × 3x = 735
15x² = 735
x² = 735/15
x² = 49
x = ✓49
x = 7
Recall that length = 5x = 5 × 7 = 35
Width = 3x = 3 × 7 = 21
