Answer:

L= 12170 ft

Explanation:

The runaway at the airport has the shape of a rectangle and the area of 2,312,300 ft². The rectangular runaway is 190 ft wide . The length is what we are asked to find.

area of a rectangle = LW

Where

L = length

W = width

area of a rectangle = LW

area of the rectangular runaway = 2,312,300 ft²

W = 190 ft

L = ?

2,312,300 = L × 190

2,312,300 = 190L

divide both sides by 190

L = 2,312,300/190

L= 12170 ft
