Question

The area of the gym floor is 6,536 square feet. The length of the floor is 76 feet. What is the width?

Answer 1

`86` feet

Explanation:

Assuming the gym is a rectangle, we know that the area is given by the length times the width. So, we have

`A = l*w`

Solve for `w` dividing both sides by `l`:

`\frac{A}{l} = w`

Plug the values:

`\frac{6536}{76} = 86` feet
