The area of the rectangle is 33 square feet. If its width is 5 1/4 feet, find its
length??
33 / 5.25 = ?
To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length × Width
In this case, we are given that the area is 33 square feet and the width is 5 1/4 feet. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the length:
Length = Area / Width
Substituting the given values:
Length = 33 square feet / 5 1/4 feet
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Length = 33 square feet × 4/21
Next, we can multiply the numerator and denominator:
Length = (33 × 4) / 21
Length = 132 / 21
Simplifying the fraction, we find:
Length = 6 2/3 feet
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 6 2/3 feet.
