Question

A rectangle with the area of 2 square feet has a width of 6 in what is the length of the rectangle

Answer 1

We know that

• The area is 2 square feet.

,

• The width is 6 inches.

First, we have to transform 6 inches into feet. We know that 1 foot equals 12 inches. So, we have to divide.

`(6in)/(12in)=(1)/(2)=0.5`

6 inches are equivalent to 0.5 feet.

Now, we use the formula for the area of a rectangle.

`A=w\cdot l`

Let's replace the area and the width.

`2=0.5\cdot l`

Then, we solve for l.

`l=(2)/(0.5)=4`

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 4 feet.
