Question

The area of a rectangle is $2356$square meters. The length is $38$meters. What is the width?

Short answer

The width of the rectangle is $62$meters.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

Area of the given rectangle is $2356$square meters.

Length of the given rectangle is localid="1647373040107" $38m$.

Step 2. Find the breadth.

We know the formula of the area of the rectangle is given below,
$A=length\times breadth......\left(i\right)$

Substitute the given values in equation (i),

$$\begin{gathered} 2356=38\times breadth \\ breadth=\frac{2356}{38} \\ breadth=62m \end{gathered}$$

Step 3. Check the answer.

Substitute the values of length and breadth in equation (i),

$$\begin{gathered} A=38\times 62 \\ A=2356m^2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of the width obtained is correct.
