Question

(a) The area of a rectangular parking lot is 7448 m²If the length of the parking lot is 98 m, what is its width?Width of the parking lot:

Answer 1

The formula to determine the area of a rectangle is:

`A=w\cdot l`

Where

A is the area

w is the width of the rectangle

l is the length of the rectangle

If you know the area and the length of the rectangle, you can determine its width. First, write the formula for w, to do so, divide both sides of the equal sign by l

`\begin{gathered} (A)/(l)=l\cdot(w)/(l) \\ (A)/(l)=w \end{gathered}`

If A= 7448m² and l=98m, then you can calculate the width as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (7448)/(98)=w \\ w=76 \end{gathered}`

The width of the parking lot is 76 meters
