Question

The shower block on the campsite has an area of 144 m2 The length of the shower block is 24 m.What is the width?

Answer 1

Since the shower block is in the form of a rectangle. The shower block has an area of 144
`m^(2)`. It has a length of 24m. We need to calculate the width of the shower block.

Area of rectangular shower block = length
`*` width

144
`m^(2)` = 24 m
`*` width

width =
`= (144m^(2))/(24m)`

width = 6m

So, the width of the shower block is 6 meters.
