Question

Amie has the materials to build a 200 square foot patio. She decided to make it 8 feet wide but needs to figure out the length.

How long should she make her patio so it is 200 square feet?

Answer 1

By deciding to make the width 8 feet wide, this meant that the figure was to be a rectangule of length X feet by width 8 feet.

A = Lx W

200sq feet = X *8

X = 25 feet.

thus, the patio should be 25 feet long

Answer 2

200ft^2 / 8ft = 25ft

She should make her patio 25ft long.
