Question

A rectangle has an area of

48
4848 square millimeters. The length of the rectangle is
8
88 millimeters. What is the width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

6 mm

Explanation:

We know that the formula to find the area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length × Width

Given that,

Length → 8 mm

Area → 48 mm²

Let us find the width of the rectangle using the formula.

Area = Length × Width

48 = 8 × w

Divide both sides by 8 to make "w" as the subject.

6mm = width

Answer 2

• 6 mm

----------------

Area of rectangle formula:

• A = lw

We are given that A = 48 mm² and l = 8 mm.

Substitute these into formula and find the value of w:

• 48 = 8w
• w = 48/8
• w = 6
