____________

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = length * width.

To solve for the width, we can rearrange the formula as:

width = A / length

Plugging in the values given, the width would be:

width = 42 / 16.8
width = 2.5 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 2.5 inches.
