Answer:

3.56m

Step-by-step explanation:Parameters given:

Area of the rectangular garden = 16.02m^2

Length of the rectangular garden = 4.5m

The Area of a rectangle can be calculated for using the formula below

Area (square meters) = length (meters) × width (meters)

Therefore, 16.02m^2 = 4.5m × width

Width = 16.02m^2 / 4.5m

Width = 3.56m

Therefore the width in meters of the garden is 3.56m

See the attachment below for an illustrative diagram

A = area

l = length

w = width
