Question

How do I find the length of a rectangle if the area is 52.5 square meters and the width is 5 meters?

Answer 1

To find the length of a rectangle when you know the area and the width, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

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

You are given:
- Area = 52.5 square meters
- Width = 5 meters

You can rearrange the formula to solve for the length:

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

Now, substitute the known values into the formula:

\[
\text{Length} = \frac{52.5 \, \text{m}^2}{5 \, \text{m}}
\]

Calculate the length:

\[
\text{Length} = \frac{52.5}{5} = 10.5 \, \text{meters}
\]

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is **10.5 meters**.
