Question

Using the area formula A=LW (where A is the area L is the length and W is the width ) which of the following formulas would you use to solve for width ?

Answer 1

W = A/L

Explanation:

We are given the following formula:

A = LW

We want to solve for the width W. So

LW = A

L multiplies W, so it can go to the other side of the equality dividing. Then:

W = A/L
