Question

The area of a rectangular ice skating rank is 900 square yards if the length of the ring is 100 yards what is the width of the rink

Answer 1

The width of rectangular rink is 9 yards

Solution:

Given that,

Area of rectangular ice skating rink = 900 square yards

Length of rectangular rink = 100 yards

To find: width of rink

The area of rectangle is given as:

`\text{ Area of rectangle } = length * width`

Substituting the given values in above formula,

`900 = 100 * width\\\\width = (900)/(100)\\\\width = 9`

Thus the width of the rink is 9 yards
