Answer:

Length = 7.05m

Explanation:

Breadth is just a fancy word for width. We know that the width is 2.6 m and the total area is 18.33 m². We also know that the formula for the area of a rectangle is l*w, length times width. Remember, we are looking for l.

Set up an equation: l*w=A

Where:

  • l = Length
  • w = Width
  • A = Area

Plug in the known values.

l*w=A

l * 2.6 = 18.33

Solve for l. Isolate the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by 2.6:

l = 7.05

You can easily check your work by finding l*w now that you know both values. Always remember to put the unit back into your answer! So your final answer should be l=7.05 m
