If the length of a rectangle is 8 feet and the area is 4 square feet, the width must be 0.5 feet or
(1)/(2) feet.

The area of a rectangular object or shape is given as the product of the length and the width.

If we are given the area and the length, we can determine the width by dividing the area by the length.

The length of the rectangle = 8 feet

The area of the rectangle = 4 ft²

Therefore, the width of the rectangle = 4/8 =
(1)/(2) = 0.5 feet

Thus, we can conclude that the width of the rectangle is
(1)/(2) feet.
