area of triangle = W × B

area of a triangle is = 552/8

552/8 = 37/4 × W

552/8 = 37W/4

8•37W = 4•552

296W = 2208

W = 7.5

width : 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle : Length * Width

Given,

  • area : 69 3/8
  • length : 9 1/4

solve:


\rightarrow \sf 69(3)/(8) = 9(1)/(4) * Width


\rightarrow \sf (69.375)/(9.25) = width


\rightarrow \sf width = 7.5
