given

The area of a rectangular warehouse measures 4,288 square feet

The width of the warehouse is 64 feet long.

Required:

the length of the warehouse

Step two:

The expression for the area of a rectangle is

so, for the situation

4,288= L*64

solve for L

divide both sides by 64

L= 4,288/64

L=67 feet
