Question

7. The area of a rectangular tablecloth is 4 square meters. The width of the tablecloth is 17 meters. What is the length of the tablecloth? 4

Answer 1

We have the following:

The area of a rectangle is

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

where w is width, A is area and l is length

replacing:

`\begin{gathered} l=(4)/(17) \\ l=0.235 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the length is 0.235 meters
