The area of a rectanglular path is 75msquared.It is 50cm wide.How long is it in metres?
+4473 Area of a rectangle = L X W
We are given the are and width, so all we have to do is plug those values into the equation A = L X W and solve for L.
L = A/W [divide both sides by W]
L = 75 m^2 / 50 cm
Note, we have to convert 50 cm to meters: 1 cm is 1/100 of a meter so 50 cm would be 0.5 m (move the decimal place two times to the left).
L = 75 m^2 / 0.5 m
L = ?
You can solve it now.
