If the area of a pool is 1176 square inches, the length is 14 inches, what is the width?

Remember - to calculate Area we need to multiply length x width.

1 answer

To find the width of the pool, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \]

Given that the area is 1176 square inches and the length is 14 inches, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:

\[ \text{Width} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Length}} \]

Now insert the known values:

\[ \text{Width} = \frac{1176 , \text{square inches}}{14 , \text{inches}} \]

Now perform the calculation:

\[ \text{Width} = 84 , \text{inches} \]

Therefore, the width of the pool is 84 inches.
