Answer: 36 or sqrt(1296)


Step-by-step explanation:

l * w = a(864)


We can substitute w in this equation for 2/3 * l.

l * (2/3 * l) = 864 or 2/3 * l ^2

Multiply by the denominator 3...

and then divide by what's left of the fraction 2


(864)*3/2 = 1296


1296 = l^2


This can also be seen as:

sqrt(1296) = l

36 = l
