Question

The shower block on the campsite has an area of 144 m2 The length of the shower block is 24 m.What is the width?

Answer 1

Since the shower block is in the form of a rectangle. The shower block has an area of 144$m^{2}$. It has a length of 24m. We need to calculate the width of the shower block.

Area of rectangular shower block = length $\times$ width

144$m^{2}$ = 24 m $\times$ width

width = $= \frac{144m^{2}}{24m}$

width = 6m

So, the width of the shower block is 6 meters.
