Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question, we are informed that the length of a rectangle is 8 feet, and its area is less than 168 square feet.

Therefore, the width will be calculated thus:

Length × Width < 168

8 × Width < 168

8W < 168

W < 168/8

W < 21

The width is less than 21 feet
