Answer:

The width of the bathroom is 10ft.

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we use the formula

area = width x length

So we know that length is equal to 7 ft, and we also know the total area which is 70 sq.ft.

70 = ? x 7

multiplication and division are inverse operations, so we will divide instead

70 divided by 7 = 10

And we are done!!

hope this helps you, feel free to leave any questions in the comments!! :)
