The area (A) of a rectangle varies jointly as the length (l) and the width (w), and whose A = 60 sq. cm when l = 4 cm and w = 3 cm. What is the area of rectangle if the length is 6 cm and whose width is 3 cm? ​

Answer:

The area is 90 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The variation can be represented as:

[tex]A\ \alpha\ l * w[/tex]

Area = 60, when l = 4 and w = 3

Required

Find Area, when l = 6 and w = 3

Represent the variation as an equation

[tex]A = k(l * w)[/tex]

Where k is the constant of variation.

Substitute 60 for A, 4 for l and 3 for w

[tex]60 = k * (4 * 3)[/tex]

[tex]60 = k * 12[/tex]

Make k the subject

[tex]\frac{60}{12} = k[/tex]

[tex]5=k[/tex]

[tex]k=5[/tex]

To get the value of Area when l = 6 and w = 3.

Substitute 5 for k, 6 for l and 3 for w in [tex]A = k(l * w)[/tex]

[tex]A = 5 * 6 * 3[/tex]

[tex]A = 90[/tex]

The area is 90 sq. cm
