Area is l*w. To find the width, do 144/24 to get a length of 6m.

Answer: The required width of the given shower block is 6 m.

Let w meters be the width of the given shower block.

Then, according to the give information, we have


Area=24* w\\\\\Rightarrow 144=24w\\\\\Rightarrow w=(144)/(24)\\\\\Rightarrow w=6~\textup{m}.
