What is the width of a rectangle with length 25" in area 375" squared?​

Answer 1

Width, W = 15 inches

Explanation:

Let L = length of the rectangle

Let W = width of the rectangle

Given the following data;

Area, A of rectangle = 375 in²

Length, L of rectangle = 25 in

*To find the width of the rectangle*

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

`Area = length * width`

`A = L * W`

Making "W" the subject of formula;

`W = \frac {A}{L}`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`W = \frac {375}{25}`

W = 15 in

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 15 inches.
