Question

The area of a rectangle is 448cm^2. The length is 32cm. What is the width?

 

Answer 1

You are given that the area is 448 and the length is 32. Placing these two known values into our Area formula for a rectangle you get,
Area= Length * Width
448 = 32 * Width (Divide both sides by 32)
448/32 = 14 = Width

Thus the width is 14 cm.
