Area missing width

Question

The area of a rectangle is 116 square meters.

If the length of the rectangle is 4 meters, what is the width of the rectangle?

A= LXW

Answer 1

Hi Kelley,

Area = L x W

You know area and length, let's replace them in the equation: 116 = 4 x W

Solve for W: divide both sides by 4: 116/4 = W so W = 29 meters

Answer: the width of the rectangle is 29 meters.
