Answer:

The width of the door is 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garage door is

Area= height x width

In this case, we are looking for the width, and we have the data of the other 2 elements

Area is 108, because she has enough to paint the area of the garage door

Height=12

Width=Area/height

Width=108/12

Width= 9 feet

108/12=9

(You have to divide because you are seeing how many times 12 will go into 108 square feet)

The width of the door is 9 feet!

You can check your answer by multiplying 12 feet times 9 feet.
Your answer will be 108 ft squared! :)

So, the width of the door is 9 feet.

Hope I helped! :)
