Question

L=9.25cm; A=55.5cm^2

Answer 1

w = 6

Explanation:

Assuming that you are looking for the width, given length and the area.

You can solve for the width by isolating width variable.

As a reminder, the area of a rectangle is A = L*W

Let's set up the equation so L is by itself.

`A=lw\\(A)/(l) =w`

Here we see that width is equal to Area divided by length. Now let's plug in our area (55.5) and length (9.25)

`(55.5)/(9.25) = w`

The answer you get is:

`w=6`

You can check to make sure length and width equal the area by multiplying them together.

6 * 9.25 does indeed equal 55.5.
