Question

The formula A = l • w gives the area of a rectangle. A rectangle has an area of 37.2 cm2 and a length of 12 cm.

What is the width of the rectangle?

cm

Answer 1

446.4 am i correct

Answer 2

No, but you have the right idea. You multiplied 37.2*12 but that finds you area, not width. To find the width, you'll have to divide 37.2/12, which is?

Answer 3

3.1

Answer 4

Good, whenever you have a problem like this, where you have to multiply to find the distance or area, you divide the answer by the number you have.
L*W=A so, A/L=W. Makes sense?
