Question

The top of a coffee table is in a shape of a rectangle.The length of the top of the coffee table is 3.5 feet and the area is 14 square feet.What is the widthof the topof the coffee table?

Answer 1

4 feet

Explanation:

We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the width of the coffee table:

Area = Length x Width

Substituting the given values, we get:

14 = 3.5 x Width

To solve for the width, we can divide both sides by 3.5:

Width = 14 / 3.5

Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:

Width = 4

Therefore, the width of the top of the coffee table is 4 feet.
