The length of a rectangle is 8 more than the width. the area is 180180 square feet. find the length and width of the rectangle.

8l = w

area = 180180

area = lw

180180 = lw

since w = 8l as shown above

180180 = (l) (8l)

180180 = 8l^2

l^2 = 22522.5

take the square root

l = 150.075 to three decimal places

180180 = lw

we now know that l = 150.075

180180 = (150.075) (w)

w = 180180/150.075

w = 1200.5997

width = 1200.5997

lentgh = 150.075
