Question

The area of a rectangle is 2- 3/4 inch. ^2 If the length of the rectangle is 1/2 inch, what is the measurement of the width?

Answer 1

The width of the rectangle = 1.15 inches

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the length of the rectangle =
`(1)/(2) inch`

The area of the rectangle =
`(2.3)/(4)` inch²

We have to find the width of the rectangle

The area of the rectangle = length × width

`(2.3)/(4) = (1)/(2) X width`

⇒ 2 × 2.3 = 4× width

⇒ 4.6 = 4 w

⇒ w = 1.15 inches

Final answer:-

The width of the rectangle = 1.15 inches
