- A rectangular pool has an area of 140 square feet. If the length of the

pool is 16 feet, what is its width?

Answer 1

8.75 ft

Explanation:

Use the area formula, A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in the area and length, and solve for w:

A = lw

140 = 16w

8.75 = w

So, the width is 8.75 feet
