The area of a rectangle is A = L W, where L is the length and W is the width. You are given A = 70 ft² and L = 14 ft. Plug these into the formula: 70 = 14 W. Solve for W by dividing both sides by 14: W = 70/14 = 5 ft. The width of the rectangle is 5 feet.

Hey there Ninaedingeroveuh7,
Area = Length x Width
70 square feet = 14 ft x w
W = 70 / 14
= 5 ft

Hope this helps :))
