Question

A rectangular driveway is 8 feet wide and it has an area of 112 square feet. How long is the driveway?

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangular driveway is 8 feet wide and it has an area of 112 square feet.

We need to determine the length of the driveway.

Length of the driveway:

The length of the driveway can be determined using the formula,

$Area=length \times width$

where Area = 112 square feet and width = 8 feet.

Substituting the values, we have;

$112=length \times 8$

Dividing both sides by 8, we get;

$14=length$

Hence, the value of the length is 14 feet.

Thus, the length of the driveway is 14 feet.
