The area of a rectangular pool is 5056 m². If the width of the pool is 64 m, what is its length?​

To find area, you multiply the width by the length
( \text{A} = \text{L} * \text{W}). Here, it is asking for the length, giving the area of the pool and the width. With this information, you can inverse operation ( division) to find the length of the pool. So:


5056 / 64 = 79

This tells us that the length of the pool is 79 meters. To check this answer, multiply 64 and 79. If it's equivalent to 5056, the given area, then 79 is indeed the length of the pool.


64 *79 = 5056.

Thus, the length of the pool is 79 m.
