Question

A rectangular parking lot has an area of 1,650 square yards.The length of the parking lot is 55 yards.What is the width of the parking lot in yards ?

Answer 1

Given that:

Area of rectangular parking lot = 1650 yards square

Length of parking lot = 55 yards

Width of parking lot = x yards

Area of rectangle is given by:

A = Length * Width

1650 = 55x

Dividing both sides by 55

\begin{gathered}\frac{55x}{55}=\frac{1650}{55}\\x=30\end{gathered}

55

55x

=

55

1650

x=30

Hence,

The width of parking lot is 30 yards.

Answer 2

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Rectangle = l × b

1650  = 50 × b

         = 1650 ÷ 50

         = 30

∴ 30 is the right answer.

Hope this helps! :)
