Answer:

Width = 16 feet.

Explanation:

The sunroom is of a rectangular shape with area A = 320 sq. feet.

If the length of the room, L = 20 feet, and width to be determined is W feet.

Then, Area = Length × Width, A = WL


W = (A)/(L) = (320)/(20) = 16 feet.

Therefore, the width of the room is 16 feet. (Answer)
