The width of a rectangular room is 60% of its length. The length of the room is 10 feet. What is the area of the room?

Verified Answer :

The area of the room would be 60 feet. This is because 10 times .60 equals 6 and 10 times 6 equals 60. So the answer would be 60 sq ft. squared.

Answer:

\(60\ ft^{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the length of the room

y-------> the width of the room

we know that

\(60\%=\frac{60}{100}=0.60\)

\(x=10\ ft\)

\(y=0.60x\)

Find the value of y

\(y=0.60(10)=6\ ft\)

The area of the rectangular room is equal to

\(A=xy\)

substitute the values of x and y

\(A=10*6=60\ ft^{2}\)
