Answer:

The length is 99 centimeters.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying:

A = Length • width

We also know that the area of the rectangular painting is 5,049 cm^2

An equation to represent this is:

51w = 5049

To find w, divide:

5049/51 = 99

CHECK YOUR ANSWER:

Formula tor area of a rectangle:

Length x width

Use formula with the measurements:

99 x 52 = 5049

So the length is 99 centimeters.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
