Determine the width of a rectangle if the area of the rectangle is 146 square feet and the length is 18.30 feet rounded to 3 significant digits.
To find the width of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = length * width
In this case, the area is given as 146 square feet and the length is given as 18.30 feet. Plugging those values into the formula, we can solve for the width:
146 = 18.30 * width
Dividing both sides by 18.30, we get:
width = 146 / 18.30
Evaluating this expression, we find:
width ≈ 7.973032069971
Rounded to 3 significant digits, the width of the rectangle is 7.97 feet.
