Question

what is the width of a rectangle with length 25 in. and area 375 in.2

Answer 1

\[
\text{We know that the area of our rectangle (in}^2\text{) can be found via...}\\
\ \ \ A=lw\\
\text{where}\\
\ \ \ l\text{ - the length of the rectangle (in)}\\
\ \ \ w\text{ - the width of the rectangle (in)}\\
\text{We're given as follows.}\\
\ \ \ l=25\text{ in}\\
\ \ \ A=375\text{ in}^2\\
\text{Now, let's reduce our area equation to solve for }w.\\
\ \ \ A=lw\\
\ \ \ 375\text{ in}^2=w(25\text{ in})\\
\ \ \ 15\text{ in}=w
