Question

A rectangular park has an area of 118.08 km2 and a width of 9.6 km. What is the length of the park? km

Answer 1

So,

We can refer to the formula for the area of a rectangle.
A = l*w

Since we are solving for the length, it would be easier for us if we divided both sides of the equation by w.

`(A)/(w) = l`

Now we can plug in the values to get the answer.

`(118.08)/(9.6) = l`

`(11808)/(960) = l`

`12.3 = l`

The length of the park is 12.3 km.
