Question

If the area is 1032 square ft and the width is 12 ft what is the length

Answer 1

In a rectangle, which has width and length, the formula to find the area is:

`A=l\cdot w`

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

Since we are asked to find the length, we solve for l in the previous equation by dividing both sides by w:

`(A)/(w)=l`

We know the Area A and the width w:

`\begin{gathered} A=1032ft^2 \\ w=12ft \end{gathered}`

So we substitute these values into the equation to find l:

`\begin{gathered} (1032ft^2)/(12ft)=l \\ 86ft=l \end{gathered}`

And thus, we have found that the length of the rectangle is 86 ft.

Answer: 86 ft
