Question

Mr. Cole plans to tile the new sun room he built for his wife Betty. The area of the room measures 320 sq. feet. If the length of the room measures 20 feet, what is the width of the room? Group of answer choices A. 12 ft. B. 16 ft. C. 35 ft. D. 80 ft.

Answer 1

Width = 16 feet.

Explanation:

The sunroom is of a rectangular shape with area A = 320 sq. feet.

If the length of the room, L = 20 feet, and width to be determined is W feet.

Then, Area = Length × Width, A = WL

⇒
`W = (A)/(L) = (320)/(20) = 16` feet.

Therefore, the width of the room is 16 feet. (Answer)
