The Solution:

Given that the area of the rectangle below si 134 square millimeters.

We are asked to find the width of the given rectangle.

Using the formula for the area of a rectangle, we have


\begin{gathered} \text{A = L}* W \\ \text{Where} \\ A=\text{area}=134\text{ }mm^2 \\ L=2\operatorname{mm} \\ W=\text{ ?} \end{gathered}

Substituting these values in the formula above, we get


134=2* W

Dividing both sides by 2, we get


\begin{gathered} (134)/(2)=(2* W)/(2) \\ \\ 67=W \\ W=67\text{ millimeters} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is 67 millimeters.

The area of the rectangle is 134 square millimeters. If the length is 2millimeters-example-1
