Question

If the width of a rectangle is 6 1/5 centimeters and the area of the rectangle is 46 1/2 square centimeters, what is the length of the rectangle? *

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 7.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The width of the rectangle, $L=6\dfrac{1}{5}\ cm=\dfrac{31}{5}\ cm$

The area of the rectangle, $A=46\dfrac{1}{2}\ cm^2=\dfrac{93}{2}\ cm^2$

We need to find the length of the rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = LB

Put all the values,

$L=\dfrac{A}{B}\\\\L=\dfrac{\dfrac{93}{2}}{\dfrac{31}{5}}\\\\L=7.5\ cm$

So, the length of the rectangle is 7.5 cm.
