Question

The formula A - Iw finds the area of a rectangle. What is the width of a rectangle whose area is 60 square inches and whose length is 5 inches

Answer 1

You would use the formula A=LW so fill in the blanks A=60 L=5 W=X. 60=5X divide 60 by 5. X=12=W. The width is 12 inches.

Answer 2

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies.

The width of the rectangle is 12 inches

The parameters are given as:

$A = 60in^2$ --- the area

$L = 5in$ --- the length

The area is calculated using:

$A = LW$

Make W the subject

$W = \frac AL$

Substitute values for A and L

$W = \frac{60in^2}{5in}$

$W =12in$

Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches
