Question

A rectangular piece of land has an area of 3/4 square mile. The land is 21/2 mile. What is its width

Answer 1

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is  $\frac{1}{14}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for rectangle

The area of rectangle = A = $\frac{3}{4}$ mile²

The Length of rectangle = L = $\frac{21}{2}$ mile

Let The width of rectangle = W miles

Now, From area of rectangle

I.e Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Or , A = $\frac{21}{2}$ mile  × W mile

Or, $\frac{3}{4}$ mile² = $\frac{21}{2}$ mile  × W mile

or, W = $\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{21}{2}}$ mile

or, W = $\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 21}$

∴  W = $\frac{1}{14}$ miles

Hence The width of the rectangle is  $\frac{1}{14}$ miles  Answer
