Question

The area rectangular play ground is a 78 Square meters.if the length of the playground is 13 meters what is its width

Answer 1

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:

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

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

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

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

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 6 meters.

Answer 2

The width is 6 because you need to reverse what you would do to get 78. You would multiply length and width. Now you need to divide the area by length to find width.
$78 \div 13 = 6$
