Question

if a rectangle has an area of 70 square feet and the length of the space is 14 feet, what is the width of the space?

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is A = L W, where L is the length and W is the width.

 

You are given A = 70 ft² and L = 14 ft. Plug these into the formula:

 

70 = 14 W.

 

Solve for W by dividing both sides by 14:

 

W = 70/14 = 5 ft.

 

The width of the rectangle is 5 feet.
