Question

The area of a rectangle playgrond is 78 square meters. If the length of the playground is 13 meters, what is its width?

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle = length * width

78 = length * 13

$length = \frac{78}{13}$ use a calculator to find out the answer then,

Answer 2

Answer:

6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent width of the rectangle.

We have been given that the area of a rectangle playground is 78 square meters. The length of the playground is 13 meters.

We know that area of a rectangle is width times length of rectangle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Length}\times \text{Width}$

$78\text{ m}^2=13\text{ m}\times \text{Width}$

$13\text{ m}\times \text{Width}=78\text{ m}^2$

$\frac{13\text{ m}\times \text{Width}}{13\text{ m}}=\frac{78\text{ m}^2}{13\text{ m}}$

$\text{Width}=6\text{ m}$

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 6 meters.
