Answer:

Length = 14.21428571 in. or Length = 199/14 in.

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by:

A = LW, where:

  • A is the area in units squared,
  • L is the length,
  • and W is the width.

Thus, we can find the rectangle's length by substituting 14 for W and 199 for A in the rectangle area formula:

(199 = 14L) / 14

14.21428571 = L

Thus, the rectangle's length is 14.21428571 = L.

  • If you prefer a rounded, round to as many digits as you'd like like 14.2 for the nearest tenth, 14.21 for the nearest hundredth, etc.
  • You can also use the fraction 199/14 as your answer if you'd prefer no decimals.
