Question

A rectangle has length of 5.25 cm and area of 44.625 cm. What does the length of the rectangle have to be?

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is defined to be its length times its width. What the question here is asking is: what do you have to multiply 5.25 cm by to get 44.625 cm²?

Answer 2

Answer: 8.25 cm

Explanation:

We know that the area of rectangle is given by :-

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

Given : The length of rectangle: l= 5.25 cm

The area of rectangle:
`A=44.625\ cm^2`

Substitute the values of A and l in the formula given above, we get

`44.625=5.25*\text{Width}`

Divide 5.25 both sides , we get

`\text{Width}=(44.625)/(5.25)=8.5`

Hence , the other length of the rectangle have to be 8.25 cm.
