Question

Please help ASAP:

Clark is removing dirt from a rectangular section of his backyard to build a water feature. The section is 2 meters long and has an area of 10 square meters.

A.) What equation can you use to find the width of the rectangular section?

B.) What is the width of the rectangular section?

Answer 1

A.) w=
`(a)/(l)` or width = area divided by length

B.) 5 meters

Explanation:

A.) You can use this equation and plug in the numbers like w(width) = 10(area of rectangular section) ÷ 2(length)

B.) 10 divided by 2 is 5, so 5 is your width

You can work backwards to check using A = L x W

5 x 2 is 10

Hope this helps! :)
