Question

(b) The area of a rectangular pool is 5488 m\2 If the length of the pool is 98 m, what is its width?​

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle we have the foruma A=WxL.

But we already have the area and length so we can plug that in

5488=Wx98

Now its an algebreic expression.

SInce its multiplying we do the opposite, so we divide 98 on both sides.

98/98 crosses itself out so now its 5488/98. Which equals 56. So now our expression is W=56. To fact check we put the numbers 56 and 98 into the formula to see if we get 5488.

A=56x98

A=5488
