Question

Cole has a rectangular garden with an area of 16.06 square meters. The length of the garden is 4.5 meters. What is the width, in meters, of the garden

Answer 1

Answer:

3.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden has a rectangular shape; the area of a rectangle is given by

$A=L\cdot W$

where

A is the area

L is the length

W is the width

For the garden in this problem, we have:

$A=16.06 m^2$ is the area

$L=4.5 m$ is the length of the garden

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation in order to find W, the width of the garden:

$W=\frac{A}{L}=\frac{16.06}{4.5}=3.6 m$
