The area of a rectangle is 135 inches squared. The ratio of the length to the width is 5:3. Find the length and the width

l=15 inches

w=9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=135=l*w

l*w=135 (equation 1)

l/w=5/3

l=5w/3

putting l=5w/3 in equation 1

(5w/3) * w=135

5w^2/3=135

5w^2=135*3

w^2 = (135*3) / 5

w^2=81

Taking square root on both sides

w=9 inches

l*w=135

l=135/w

l=135/9

l=15 Inches
