Greetings!

Answer: 4.14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As the rug is a rectangle, to find the area you simply multiply ,the length and width together.

L x W = A

As in the question stated you have the area and length:

8 .75 x W = 36.25

To find the width you can simply divide the area by the length:

36.25 ÷ 8.75 = 4.14

So the width is 4.14 feet!


Hope this helps!
