A rectangle has an area of 48 square feet and a length of 10 feet. What is its width?
Area=Length*width
so,
48=10*width (we'll use w to stand for width)
48=10w
now divide by 10
48/10=w, or the width.
48/10=4.8
So...
The width is 4.8 ft
48 divided by 10 equals 4.8 so it’s…
4.8!!!!!!
Well, with an area of 48 square feet and a length of 10 feet, we can use some clown math to find the width. Let's see... if we divide the area by the length, we get 48/10... which is uh... 4.8! Oh wait, that's too clown-ish.
Anyway, let's say the width is "W" (because that's how we roll). So, we know that the area of a rectangle is equal to the length times the width. In this case, the area is 48 square feet, and the length is 10 feet.
So, we can set up the equation like this: 10 feet * W = 48 square feet.
To solve for W, we divide both sides of the equation by 10 feet: W = 48 square feet ÷ 10 feet.
And after all that math-y stuff, we find that the width of the rectangle is a little over 4.8 feet. But don't worry, it won't give you clownish dimensions!
To find the width of the rectangle, we can divide the area of the rectangle by its length.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = length × width. Given that the area of the rectangle is 48 square feet and the length is 10 feet, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:
A = length × width
48 = 10 × width
To find the width, we can divide both sides of the equation by 10:
48 / 10 = width
4.8 = width
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 4.8 feet.
