Question

Mr. Odulate’s rectangular classroom has an area of 1,152 square feet. If the width of the room is 36 feet, what is the length of the room?

Answer 1

32 feet

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is
`a = lw`, where the area equals the length times the width. Since we are given the area and the width, we can divide them to find the width, since it's the inverse operation.

⇒ 1152 ÷ 36 ≈ 32 feet
