Question

The area, A, of the rectangle below is 3/4 square ft. If A = length x width, what is the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4w} =l$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found using the formula A = l*w. We know the area is A = 3/4 square foot. To find the length in terms of w, solve for l by multiplying by the reciprocal of w.

$A = l*w\\\frac{3}{4} =l*w\\\frac{3}{4} *\frac{1}{w} = l\\\frac{3}{4w} =l$
