the area of a rectangle is 64 square centimeters. The rectangle is 4 centimeters wide. How long is the rectangle

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the area is 64 square centimeters and the width is 4 centimeters.

Let the length of the rectangle be x centimeters.

So the equation to find the length would be:

x * 4 = 64

Solving for x:

x = 64 / 4
x = 16

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 16 centimeters.
