Question

What is the missing length? 16 in area = 384 in? w = | inches

Answer 1

w = 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be calculated as width times length. So, we can write the following equation:

Area = width x length

So, if we replace the area by 384 in², the width by the letter w, and the length by 16 in, we get:

384 in² = w x 16 in

Now, we need to isolate the w, so we can divide both sides of the equation by 16 in as follows:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{384in^2}{16\text{ in}}=\frac{w*16in}{16\text{ in}} \\ 24\text{ in = w} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, w is equal to 24 inches
