Question

The area of rectangle is 2356 square meters. The length is 38 meters. What is the width?

Answer 1

62 meters

Explanation:

So the area of a rectangle can be defined as:
`A = wl` where A=area, w=width, l=length. So if we plug in the known values we can solve for the unknown, which in this case is the width. So let's plug in the known values:

`2356 m^2 = 38 m * w`

Divide both sides by 38 m

`62 m = w`
