Question

the area of a rectangle is 12.65 m^2. the length measures 5.5 m. what is the width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$area \: of \: rectangle = length \times width \\ \therefore \: 12.65 = 5.5\times width \\ \\ \therefore \:width = \frac{12.65}{5.5} \\ \\ \therefore \:width = 2.3 \: m$

Hence, width of rectangle is 2.3 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is 2.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, when we are asked to find the area of the rectangle, we will use the formula: $Area= length * width$. We should be given with at least two values, and then we can use the above formula and can find the third variable.

Now, we are given that the area of a rectangle is 12.65 $m^2$ and the length measures 5.5 m

So the width is given as:

$Area= length * width\\\Rightarrow 12.56= 5.5 * width\\\Rightarrow width= \frac{12.56}{5.5}\\\Rightarrow width=2.3 ~m$

So this is the required with of the rectangle.
