Question

Ave had a rectangular garden that is shown below. The garden's area is 32 square feet. The length of the width is 4 feet. What is the length if Ave's garden.

Answer 1

The length of Ave's garden is 8 feet.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be calculated by:

A = l × w

Where; A represents the area, l the length and w, width.

Thus from the question,

32 = l × 4

l = 32 /4

l = 8

Therefore, the length of the garden required is 8 feet.

Answer 2

8 feet.

Explanation:

The area of the garden is 32 square feet.

As we are given a rectangle with length l and width w, the formula for the area is: A = lw (rectangle).

That is, the area of the rectangle is the length multiplied by the width.

Here we only have the width and area, but no width.

So we quickly make the length the subject formula.

So from A=lw

Where a=area of the rectangle

L=length

W=width

Making length the surbject formula, we have

L=a/w.

So we put the values of the width and area and we have l=32/4

Which gives us 8 feet
