Question

A rectangle has area of 88 square units and a length of 8. Find its
width

Answer 1

11 - width

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, this is the formula:

area = length × width

So to find the width you need to rearrange the formula to make:

Width= length / area

8 / 88 = 11

/ = divide

Answer 2

11

Explanation:

We know that in order to work out the area of rectangle we have to apply the formula length × width. In this scenario we are given the area and the length and we are asked to find the width so,

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

→ Substitute in the values

88 = 8 × Width

→ Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the width

11 = Width
