Question

A rectangle has an area of 56 square feet and a width of 4 feet. What is its length?​

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangle with

• Area = 56 sq. feet
• Width = 4 feet

What To Find:

We have to find the length of the rectangle.

How To Find:

To find the length, we will use the formula,

• Area = Length × Width

Solution:

Using the formula,

⇒ Area = Length × Width

Substitute the values,

⇒ 56 sq. feet = Length × 4 feet

Take 4 feet to LHS,

⇒ $\sf{\dfrac{56}{4} = Length}$

Divide 56 by 4,

⇒ 14 feet = Length

∴ Thus, the length of the rectangle is 14 feet.
