What is the rule for rectangle's area ?

anonymous · Answer

$$Area of rectangle = Length(L) * Width(W)$$


So concerning your question :
Area is given to be 431.2 , and the length L is given to be 24.4 
Then using division we would get out "w" which will be supposed to be = 17.6 
Let me know if you got it :)
