Question

What is the width of a rectangle with length 14cm and area 161 cm^2

Answer 1

Answer:

11.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$width \: of \: rectangle \\ \\ = \frac{area \: of \: rectangle}{length \: of \: rectangle} \\ \\ = \frac{161}{14} \\ \\ = 11.5 \: cm$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found with the formula $A = l*w$, where $l$ is the length of the rectangle and $w$ is the width.

From the given problem statement, we know that $l = 14$ and $A = 161$, so we can fill in those values in the formula anbd solve for $w$ to get the width:

$A = l*w$

$161 = 14w$

Divide both sides by $14$ to isolate $w$ by itself:

$\frac{161}{14} = \frac{14w}{14}$

$w = 11.5$
