What is the length of a rectangle with an area of 48 yd^2 and a width of 3 yd

1 answer

To calculate the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

In this case, the width is given as 3 yd and the area is given as 48 yd^2. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the length:

length = Area ÷ width

Substituting the given values, we get:

length = 48 yd^2 ÷ 3 yd

Simplifying the expression, we get:

length = 16 yd

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 16 yards.
