Given:

Area of rectangle = 8613 cm²

Length = 99 cm

Find-:

The width of the rectangle

Explanation-:

The area of a rectangle is:


\text{ Area }=\text{ Length }*\text{ Width}

Given data is:


\begin{gathered} \text{ Area }=8613\text{ cm}^2 \\ \\ \text{ Length }=99\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

So, the width of the rectangle is:


\begin{gathered} \text{ Area }=\text{ Length }*\text{ Width} \\ \\ 8613\text{ cm}^2=99\text{ cm}*\text{ Width} \\ \\ \text{ Width }=\frac{8613\text{ cm}^2}{99\text{ cm}} \\ \\ \text{ Width }=87\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

The width of the rectangle is 87 cm
