What is the length of the shortest side of the room if the area is 240 sq ft and the longest side of the room is 20 ft?

240 / 20 =

THANKS

You're welcome.

To find the length of the shortest side of the room, we need to know the area and the longest side of the room.

We are given that the area of the room is 240 sq ft and the longest side is 20 ft. Let's assume the length of the shortest side is x ft.

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and width. Therefore, we can use the formula: Area = Length × Width.

Given that the area is 240 sq ft and the longest side is 20 ft, we can set up an equation:

240 sq ft = x ft × 20 ft

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 20 ft:

240 sq ft ÷ 20 ft = x ft

12 ft = x ft

So, the length of the shortest side of the room is 12 ft.
