Carson and Emily make a post for school. The poster is in the shape of a rectangle. The length of the poster measures seven units and the area of the poster is 42 square units. What is the width of the poster

Answer 1

To find the width of the poster, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length times width.

Given that the length is 7 units and the area is 42 square units, we can set up the following equation:

7 * width = 42

Solving for the width, we divide both sides by 7:

width = 42 / 7
width = 6

Therefore, the width of the poster is 6 units.
