The area of a rectangle is 228 square feet. If the length of the rectangle is 12 feet, what is the width of the rectangle.

1 answer

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

Area = length x width

We know that the area is 228 square feet and the length is 12 feet. So we can plug in these values and solve for the width:

228 = 12 x width

Divide both sides by 12:

19 = width

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 19 feet.
