Question

Area of Rectangles and Squares
What is the missing length
20yd
s=
area= 660yd^2
s=_______ yards

Answer 1

To find the missing length \( s \) of a rectangle when given the width and the area, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

In this case, you have:

- Width = 20 yd
- Area = 660 yd²

We can set up the equation as follows:

\[
660 = s \times 20
\]

To find \( s \), divide both sides of the equation by 20:

\[
s = \frac{660}{20}
\]

Now, perform the division:

\[
s = 33
\]

Therefore, the missing length \( s \) is \( \boxed{33} \) yards.
