Question

The area of a rectangular parking lot is 7268m^2. If the length of the parking lot is 92m, what is its width?

Answer 1

Carly, how to you find the area of a rectangle? You multiply length times width.

The formula is usually written:

A = LW.

For this problem you know A and you know L.

7268 = 92W.

To solve for W divide both sides of the equation by the numerical coefficient of W, i.e. 92.

W = 7268/92 = ?
