Question

A rectangular parking lot has an area of 1650 yd.² the length of the parking lot is 55 yards what is the width of the parking lot in yards

Answer 1

The width of parking lot is 30 yards.

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of rectangular parking lot = 1650 yards square

Length of parking lot = 55 yards

Width of parking lot = x yards

Area of rectangle is given by:

A = Length * Width

1650 = 55x

Dividing both sides by 55

`(55x)/(55)=(1650)/(55)\\x=30`

Hence,

The width of parking lot is 30 yards.
