Question

A rectangular parking lot has an area of 682 square yards.The lot is 22 yards wide.What is the length of the parking lot?

Answer 1

Area of rectangle with length 'l' and width 'w' =
`l * w`

The area of rectangular parking lot = 682 square yards.

The width of the rectangular parking lot = 22 yards

Let the length of the rectangular parking lot be 'x' yards.

Since, area of rectangular parking lot =
`l * w`

`682 = x * 22`

So,
`x=(682)/(22)`

x=31 yards

Therefore, the length of the rectangular parking lot is 31 yards.
