Question

The area of a rectangle is 40 cm2.
If its length is 10 cm, what is its width?

Answer 1

Width = 4 cm

Explanation:

The formula for area of a rectangle is length x width. You have the length (10), leaving you with this equation.

10 x ? = 40

Solve for x, or in other words, divide 40 by 10. This gives you 4. This means that 10 x 4 equals 40 cm^2
