Question

ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW IT CORRECT GETS BRAINLIEST! :))


The width of a rectangle is 1 units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 56 units. What is the width, in units, of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

7units

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 7 times 8=56 and the question said one unit less so that's why its 7units

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is found by multiplying the length and the width.

Let's think about the factors of 56.

The only whole number pairs that can be multiplied to get 56 are

1 x 56, 2 x 28, 4 x 14, and 7 x 8.

There's only one pair where the width is less than the length, 7 x 8.

The width is always the smaller number of the two, so the width must be 7.
