Question

The area of a rectangle is 46.56 mm2.
If the width is 9.7 mm, find the length.

Answer 1

The length is 4.8 mm

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length times the width. So:

46.56 = l * w

46.56 = l * 9.7

To find the length, we must get "l" alone. To do this, we must divide both sides by 9.7.

46.56/9.7 = 4.8

4.8 = l

The length is 4.8
