Question

If a rectangular house is 50 feet wide and contains 2,500 sq/ft, what is its depth?

Answer 1

50 ft

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle = width × depth

area = 2,500 ft²

width = 50 ft

Substitute the values into the formula:

2,500 = 50 × depth

Divide both sides by 50 to find the depth:

2500 ÷ 50 = depth

depth = 50 ft
