Question

The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = l ∙ w, where A = area, l = length and w = width.A rectangle with a length of 4 millimeters has an area of 44 square millimeters. The width of the rectangle is__millimeters.

Answer 1

Given:

Formula for the area of rectangle is:

`A=l* w`

Given measurements are:

A=44 square millimeters

l=4 millimeters

The objective is to find: width of rectangle

`\begin{gathered} A=l* w \\ w=(A)/(l) \end{gathered}`

Substituting the values, we get;

`\begin{gathered} w=(44)/(4) \\ =11\text{ millimeters} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the width of the recatngle is 11 millimeters.
