Question

The length of a rectangular poster is 28 inches. The area is 1316 square inches. What is the width?

Answer 1

Answer:

Width is 47 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle formula:  A = L * W

Step 1:  Find the width

1316 = 28 * w

1316 / 28 = 28W / 28

47 = W

Answer:  Width is 47 inches

Answer 2

Answer:

47 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Given

Area = 1316 square inches

Length = 28 inches

Therefore

1316 = 28 x w

Divide both sides by 28

1316/28 = 28/28 x w

47 = w

w = 47inches
