The length of a rectangle is 7 inches, and the area of the rectangle is 199.5 squainches. What is the width of the rectangle in inches?A 28.5 in.B 192.5 in.C 1,396.5 in.D 206.5 in.24GC

Answer 1

The width of the rectangle is 28.5 inches. Option A is correct.

To solve this problem

We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = Length x Width.

We can enter the rectangle's length of 7 inches and area of 199.5 square inches into the formula as follows:

199.5 = 7 x Width.

To find the width, we can divide both sides of the equation by 7:

199.5 / 7 = Width.

Simplifying this equation gives us:

28.5 = Width.

So, the width of the rectangle is 28.5 inches.

Answer 2

Given:

The length of the rectangle, l= 7 inches.

The area of the rectangle, A =199.5 square inches.

Required:

We need to find the width of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the formula to find the area of the rectangle.

`A=l* w`

Substitute l=7 inches and A =199.5 sqaure inches in the formula.

`199.5=7* w`

Divide both sides by 7.

`(199.5)/(7)=7*(w)/(7)`

`28.5=w`

Final Answer:

The width of the given rectangle is 28.5 inches.
