Question

The floor of the rectangular banquet hall has an area of 3600m2. The length is 90m. What is the width of the banquet hall?

Answer 1

To calculate the width of the banquet hall, divide the area of the hall by its length, giving a width of 40 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the rectangular banquet hall with an area of 3600m² and a length of 90m, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is Area = length × width. The problem gives us the area and the length, so we can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:

• 
  
• Area = length × width
• 
  
• 3600m² = 90m × width
• 
  
• Width = 3600m² / 90m
• 
  
• Width = 40m

The width of the banquet hall is therefore 40 meters.

Answer 2

3600/90= 40

Therefore the width is 40 meters and the length is 90 meters. To check just multiply 40 and 90 to get 3600m^2. That is how you know that the width is 40 meters
