The area of a rectangle is solved by multiplying the length and width of a rectangle. A rectangular field has an area of 57,600 square feet. If its width is 160 feet, what is its length?
Let "L" be the length of the rectangular field.
We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula: length * width.
So, we have: L * 160 = 57,600.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 160, we get: L = 57,600 / 160 = 360 feet.
The length of the rectangular field is 360 feet.
To find the length of the rectangular field, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Given that the width is 160 feet and the area is 57,600 square feet, we can substitute these values into the formula:
57,600 = Length x 160
To find the length, we need to isolate the variable. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 160:
57,600 / 160 = Length
This simplifies to:
Length = 360
Therefore, the length of the rectangular field is 360 feet.
