Question

The longest runaway has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 1,825,500 square feet this runaway is 150 feet wide how long is the runaway ?

Answer 1

We want to find the length of the runway given the area and the width.

We can us the formula;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=\text{ Length x Width} \\ \text{rearranged to give } \\ \text{Length = }\frac{Area}{\text{Width}} \end{gathered}$

Inserting the values, we obtain;

$\text{Length = }\frac{1825500}{150}=12170\text{feet}$
