Question

Stan is purchasing sub-flooring for a kitchen he is remodeling. The area of the floor is 180 ft' and

the width of the kitchen is 12 ft. What is the length of the sub-floor?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

12 x 15 = 180

Answer 2

15 feet = Length

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length x Width

The Area is given as 180 square feet (ft2) and the width is given as 12 feet. Let's plug those values into the Area formula to find the length:

Area = Length x Width

180 = Length x 12

Divide both sides of the equation by 12:

180/12 = Length

15 feet = Length
