Question

1. the formula for the area of a rectangle is a = lw

a) solve for w
w=
b) if the area is 150 sq. ft and the l is 25 ft.. find the w

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate w in formula

Given $A = Lw$, divide both sides by L: $w=\frac{A}{L}$

Step2: Substitute values

We know $A = 150$ square - feet and $L = 25$ feet. Substitute into $w=\frac{A}{L}$, so $w=\frac{150}{25}$

Step3: Calculate w

$\frac{150}{25}=6$ feet

Answer:

A) $w=\frac{A}{L}$
B) 6 ft
