Question

The area rectangular play ground is a 78 Square meters.if the length of the playground is 13 meters what is its width

Answer 1

The width is 6 because you need to reverse what you would do to get 78. You would multiply length and width. Now you need to divide the area by length to find width.

`78 / 13 = 6`

Answer 2

6 meters.

Explanation:

Let w represent width of the rectangle.

We have been given that the area of a rectangle playground is 78 square meters. The length of the playground is 13 meters.

We know that area of a rectangle is width times length of rectangle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

`\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Length}* \text{Width}`

`\text{78 m}^2=13\text{ m}* \text{Width}`

`\frac{\text{78 m}^2}{13\text{ m}}=\frac{13\text{ m}* \text{Width}}{13\text{ m}}`

`6\text{ m}=\text{Width}`

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 6 meters.
