Question

Lee buys a parcel of land in the shape of a rectangle. It has an area of 1,125 square feet and a width of 25 feet. What is the length of the parcel of land? Show your work.

Answer 1

45 feet

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of the rectangle = 1,125 square feet

Length of the rectangle = x feet

Width of the rectangle = 25 feet.

What is the length of the parcel of land?

Area of a rectangle = length × width

1,125 = x * 25

1,125 = 25x

Divide both sides by 25

x = 1,125 / 25

= 45

x = 45 feet

The length of the parcel of land is 45 feet
