First find your room's area: 570/3=190 square foot.

Area of rectangular = lenght*wide

190=19*x

x=10 is wide

Noelle Hayes · Answer 2

First, divide your total (570) by 3 to make the problem simpler.

from there, you get 190 ... divide that (which is your area) by 19 ft, and you get 10.

the dimensions of the room are 19 feet by 10 ft
