Question

An Olympic floor exercise mat has an area of 144 square meters. It's length is 12 meters.What is the shape of the mat?

Answer 1

The shape of the mat is a square

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle (An Olympic floor exercise mat) is equal to

`A=LW`

we have that

`A=144\ ft^(2)`

`L=12\ ft`

substitute the values and solve for W

`144=12W`

`W=144/12=12\ ft`

so

The length is equal to the width

therefore

The shape of the mat is a square
