Question

The area of a rectangle is 1.7 square units. The length is 3.4 units and the width is z units.

Answer 1

rectangle 
A = L * W
1.7 = 3.4 * z
z = 1.7 / 3.4
z = 0.5

answer
z=0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$z=0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area of a rectangle is 1.7 square units. The length is 3.4 units and the width is z units.

To find: Value of z

Solution: We know that area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length and width.

Here, length is given by 3.4 units and width is given by z units.

So, area of rectangle is $3.4\times z$

Now, area of the rectangle is  given as 1.7 square units.

In order o get the value of z we need to equate the two areas.

$3.4\times z=1.7$

$z=\frac{1.7}{3.4}$

$z=\frac{17}{34}$

$z=\frac{1}{2}$

$z=0.5$

Hence, $z=0.5$ is correct.
