Answer: the width must be at least, 15 feet

Explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

With = Area / length

To cover a rectangular region of her yard, Penny needs at least 232.5 square feet of sod. This means that

LW ≥ 232.5

The length of the region is 15.5 feet. This means that

15.5W ≥ 232.5

W ≥ 232.5/15.5

W ≥ 15
