    Area of Consuela's rectangular living room = 360 square feet

    Let us assume the the length of the living room = x

    Then

    width of the living room = (5/8) * x

    = (5x/8)

    Then

    Area of the rectangle = Length * Width

    360 = x * (5x/8)

    360 = 5x^2/8

    2880 = 5x^2

    x^2 = 2880/5

    x^2 = 576

    x^2 = (24) ^2 inches

    x = 24

    Then

    The length of the rectangle is = 24 inches

    And

    The Width of the rectangle is = 24 * (5/8) inches

    = 3 * 5 inches

    = 15 inches
