The area of a playground is 12 square yards. the length of the playground is 3 times longer than its width. find the length and width of the playground.

Width is 2 and Length is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the formula for area,

So by putting values in this formula,

=> 3x2 = 12

=> x2 = 12/3,

=> x2 = 4 ,

by taking square root we get x= 2,

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
