The Area of a rectangle can be calculated by using the formula:


A=L* W

Where A is the area, L is the length and W is the width.

By replacing the given values, your equation will be:


15ft^2=y*3ft

Do the next steps to find the value of y:


\begin{gathered} \text{Divide both sides by 3 ft} \\ (15ft^2)/(3ft)=y*(3ft)/(3ft)\text{ } \\ \text{Simplify and reorder terms} \\ 5ft=y \\ y=5ft \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of y is 5 ft.
