Question

The area of a rectangle is 48 square inches. The length is 98 inches. Write an equation that can be used to find the width of the square.

Answer 1

x=0.4897599184

Explanation:

→Solution,

Area(A)=48 in²

Lenght(l)=98in

Breadth(b)=?

Let the breadth be x.

As we have,

Area of rectangle=l×b

48 in²=98 in × x

48 in²/98 in = x

x=0.4897599184

Answer 2

48 = 98x (where x is the width)

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Let x = width

Given:

• area = 48 in²
• length = 98 in

⇒ 48 = 98x
