12

Which answer choice shows the correct way to find
w
, the width of the rectangle?

CLEAR CHECK

12×==484 feet 12×w = 48 w = 4 feet



48−==1236 feet 48−w = 12 w = 36 feet



12×48==576 feet 12×48 = w w = 576 feet



2+24==4812 feet

Answer 1

Answer: i didnt understand the answer choice but the correct answer is 48/12=width. width=4

Explanation:
as we know the area of a rectangle is area=length X width
so we plug in 48 as area and 12 as length

48=12 x width
48/12=width(divide both sides by 12)
