Answer:

w= A / l

Explanation:

A = lw

Where,

A= Area of a rectangle

l= Length of a rectangle

w= width of a rectangle

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Solve the formula(equation) for width(w).

A= lw

Divide both sides by l

A / l = lw / l

A / l = w

Width = Area of the rectangle / length of the rectangle

Example: Find the width of the rectangle with length of 6 inches and Area of 12 square inches.

A= 12 square inches

l= 6 inches

w= x inches

A= lw

w= A / l

= 12 / 6

= 2

w = 2 inches
