Question

A rectangle has the length 8 times the width the area of the park is 392 square unites how much is the width of the park

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

A rectangle has a length that is 8 times the width

The area of the park is 392 square units

Let y represent the width of the park

Since the length is 8 times the width then, l= 8x

Therefore the width of the park can be calculated as follows

8x × x= 392

8x^2= 392

x^2= 392/8

x^2= 49

x= 7

Hence the width of the park is 7
