What is the length of the driveway?

Answer 1

12 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

12 feet

Explanation:

A driveway is rectangular in shape.

Therefore we can calculate the area using the formula;

`A = L * W`

From the question;

The area,A=96 feet square

The width, W=8 feet

We substitute this values into the formula to find the length, L.

This implies that

`96 =L * 8`

Dividing through by 8.

`\implies (96)/(8)= (L * 8)/(8)`

`\implies L = 12`

Hence,the length of the driveway is 12 feet.
