Question

A rectangle is 8 centimeters wide. The area of the rectangle is 120 square cm. What is the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the rectangle is 15 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area ÷ Width = Length

In this case, 120cm (Area) ÷ 8cm (Width) = 15cm (Length)

Answer 2

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length, divide the area by the width. We do this since the width times the length equals the area

120 ÷ 8 = 15

Therefore, the length is 15 cm
