To find the length of Consuelo's living room, we can use the given information: the area and the relation between the width and length.

Let's denote the length of the living room as L and the width as W. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: area = length x width.

In this case, we know that the area is 360 square feet: area = 360 sq ft.

We are also given that the width is 5/8 of the length: W = (5/8) L.

To find the length, we can substitute the given relation for the width into the area formula:

area = length x width
360 = L x (5/8) L

Now, we can simplify and solve for L:

360 = (5/8) L^2 (multiply L on both sides)
2880 = 5L^2 (divide both sides by 5)
L^2 = 576 (take the square root of both sides)
L = 24

Therefore, the length of Consuelo's living room is 24 feet.

w = 5/8 L

wl = 360
(5/8)L^2 = 360
L^2 = 576
L = √576 = 24
