Answer:

5 in

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is A = L*W.

Here, A = 40 in^2 = (8 in)x, so that

x = (40 in^2) / (8 in) = 5 in

Answer:

5

Explanation:

To get the area of a rectangle, you just multiply the width * Length. Since you already have one of the dimensions, then just do the oppositie of multiplication by dividing. So you would do 40/8 = 5.
