Answer:
The Width of the property is 1/2 (or 0.5) miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step I - Formula for the length of a rectangle is given as
L =
Where L = Lenght
A = Area and
<em>w = </em>Width
Step II - Insert values
We have L to be equal to 2 Miles, and
W to be equal to 1 square mile
Therefore
2 =
To obtain <em>w</em>, we have to collect like terms to one side of the equation by cross multiplying
So
=
Cross multiplying we have
2w = 1
to get the value of w, we divide both sides by 2
=
On the left side we are left with <em>w, </em>whilst on the right side we are left with a fraction - 1/2 (which in decimal form is 0.5)
Therefore, <em>w </em>= 0.5 Miles and this is the width of the property.
To confirm, Area of a rectangle is given by A = <em>w * l</em>
<em />
If we insert our figures, we'd get 0.5 x 2
Which is equals to 1 which was given in the question.
Cheers!
