I think that there was probably a rectangle that you didn't include in the question area of rectangle=legnth times width area=112 cm^2 legnth>width assuming that since your grade level doesn't normally do decimals, I will only assume whole number legnths and widths try and factor and find the pairs that make up 112 112=2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 7 the pairs are 1&112 2&56 4&28 7&16 8&14
notice that the smaller pairs are on the left side they are 1,2,4,7,8 these are the possible legnths look at the answer choices and see which one is in the list 2 lines abouve this line (1,2,4,7,8) the only match is 8
<span><span>To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. The formula is:</span><span>, where is the area, is the length, is the width, and · means multiply. Because 112 = 14 </span></span>· 8 , then, the width of the rectangle is 8 cm; The answer is B.
