To find the width of the tabletop, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
Area = Length x Width
Given that the area is 1,512 square inches and the length is 18 inches, we can plug in these values into the formula and solve for the width:
1,512 = 18 x Width
To find the width, divide both sides of the equation by 18:
Width = 1,512 / 18
Width = 84
Therefore, the width of the tabletop is 84 inches.
