Question

- A contractor plans to build a rectangular office complex. The floor area on the first floor of the

complex is represented by 18x*y 10. The length of the complex is represented by 6xy What
expression represents the width?

Answer 1

Width = 30

Explanation:

Area = 18x * 10y = 180xy

Length = 6xy

Width = ?

Since the shape of the office complex is a rectangle,

Area of a rectangle = length × width

180xy = 6xy × width

Width = 180xy / 6xy

Width = 30
