Question

The area of a rectangular field is 6141 yd^2. If the width of the field is 69 yards, what is it’s length?

Answer 1

We know the area of the rectangle, which is 6141 yd².

The area of a rectangle is the product of the length L and the width w.

Knowing that the width is w = 69 yd, we can calculate L as:

`\begin{gathered} A=L\cdot w \\ 6141=L\cdot69 \\ L=(6141)/(69) \\ L=89 \end{gathered}`

Answer: the length is 89 yards.
