Mr. jovanovski is having wood flooring put in his rectangular living room. the area of the room is 234 square feet. the length of the room is 18 feet. what is the width, in feet, of the room?
By definition the area of a rectangle is: A = l * w Where, l: long w: width So we have to clear the width: w = A / l Substituting the values: w = (234) / (18) = 13 w = 13 feets answer the width, in feet, of the room is 13
The area of a rectangle is L * W where L is the length and W is the width Hence it follows that L * B = 234 But Length, L, = 18 So we have 18 * W = 234 So W = 234/18 = 13 Hence the width of the room is 13 feet
