Suppose u are designing a rectangular garden with an area of 350 sq. feet?

suppose u know the length of a rectangle with an area of 350 sq. ft. write an equation that would help determine the width.

Suppose u are designing a rectangular garden with an area of 350 sq. feet?
Let L be the length in feet


Let W be the width in feet





LW = 350





Now solve that for W (by dividing by W on both sides):





W = 350 / L





Answer:


The width is the area (350 sq. ft) divided by the length (L).
Reply:And I obviously meant dividing by 'L' on both sides. Report Abuse

Reply:well, if you know the length of the rectangle, and you know the area of the rectangle, then you just take the area and divide it by the length to find the width.





The equation would look like this:





Area / Length = Width
Reply:Area = length x width





width = Area/length = 350/length
Reply:divide 350 by the given length and you will get the width as the answer (350/length=width)
Reply:if L is the length, then 350 / L =width
