Area = 170 length =17 how wide is the rectangle

Answer 1

Area (A) equals length (L) times width (W)

A = L x W

to find the Width divide both sides by the Length so Width

equals Area divided by Length

W=A/L

W=170/17=10

Answer 2

1. Start by drawing out the problem on a piece of paper. This always helps me visualize what is being asked.
2. Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle with is length x width = area
3. Plug the numbers into the equation: 17 x width = 170
4. Solve for width by dividing both sides by 17: width = 10
5. Before submitting your answer check if there were any units including in the question you need to include in your answer (example: inches).
