Question

The area of a rectangular is 60 ft the length of the room is 5 feet. What is the width

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula for area of a rectangle is:

base (length) * height (width) = area.

simplified: b*h=a

We know that a is = to 60 ft, and the length of the room is = to 5 ft. So, we can plug the numbers into the equation to make it:

5*h=60

We can then divide 5 from both sides of the '=':

(5*h)/5=(60)/5 (also can be written as
`(5*h)/(5\\) = (60)/(5)`)

And we can simplify to get the answer:

h=12
