Question

Using the formula for area of a rectangle, A = lw, solvefor the length, l.

Answer 1

`l=(A)/(w)`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to solve for the length, l, in the formula for the area of a rectangle:

`A=lw`

We simply want to make the length the subject of the formula. To do this, divide both sides of the formula by w:

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

That is the answer.
