Final answer:

The area of a rectangle is calculated as the product of its length and width. Given an area of 32 m² and a width of 12 m, the length should be 32 m² ÷ 12 m = 2.67 m. However, this result does not correspond to the options provided, suggesting a possible error in the question or the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the length of a rectangle given that its area is 32 m² and the width is 12 m. To find the length, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is Area = length × width. Since you're given the area and the width, you can solve for the length as follows:

Length = Area ÷ width

Length = 32 m² ÷ 12 m

Length = 2.67 m

However, this result does not match any of the provided options A. 2 m B. 8 m C. 16 m D. 24 m. Since the area must be a whole number if the length and width are whole numbers, it seems there might be an error in the question or the options provided.
