Answer:

A, 4 meters

Explanation:

We are given that:

Area of table = 28^2 meters.

Length = 7 meters

And assuming the snooker table is a rectangle,

We would need to make an equation that involves the formula for the area of a rectangle and these values given.

Formula for a rectangle:

A = L · W

Where L represents length and W represents width.

So,

If we were to plug in these values and solve for A, it would be:

28 = 7 · W

Solve for W:

28 = 7W

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate W because the inverse property of multiplication is division:

/7 /7

W = 4

The width is 4m, therefore the answer is A.
