Question

Mr. Jamison will stain the deck in his backyard, the deck has an area of 752.4 sqaure feet. If the deck is 33 feet long how wide is it? Justify your procedure.

Answer 1

answer:The width of the deck is 22.8 feet.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of the deck = 752.4 square feet

Length of deck = 33 feet

Let width of deck be 'x'.

Since Deck is in the shape of rectangle.

As we know the formula for "Area of rectangle ":

\begin{gathered}Area=Length\times width\\\\752.4=33\times x\\\\\dfrac{752.4}{33}=x\\\\22.8=x\end{gathered}

Area=Length×width

752.4=33×x

33

752.4

=x

22.8=x

Hence, the width of the deck is 22.8 feet.
