{\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION}}

The area of a rectangular field is
6144
m^2. If the length of the field is 96 m, what is its width?


{\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{EXPLANATION}}

The way we find the product of a certain area is


l \cdot w or length times width

But since we solving for our width, and we already have our area and our length, we divide the area by our length to find our width


{\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{SOLVE}}


6144 / 96=64


{\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER}}

This means our width is 64

DEFINITION AND KEYWORDS


{\huge{\underline{Area}} - the product of the width and the length


{\huge{\underline{Width}} - How far the side of a shape stretches out.


{\huge{\underline{Length}} - How long the side of a shape is

Have a good day :) !

Answer:

64

Explanation:

Area of a rectangular = length x width

6144 = 96 x width

width = 6144/96 = 64 (metres)

=> Width = 64 metres

hope this helps!
