The area of a 2.8 m wide rectangle is 15.4 square meters. What area does a rectangle of the same length

The area of a 2.8 m wide rectangle is 15.4 square meters. What area does a rectangle of the same length have if its width is 1.2 m.

1. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. Therefore, in order to find the length of the unknown side, it is necessary to divide the area of the rectangle by the known side. we know what the length of the rectangle is, if we know that its area is 15.4 m ^ 2, and the width is 2.8 m.

15.4 / 2.8 = 5.5 m.

2. Let’s calculate what the area of a rectangle with a length of 5.5 m and a width of 1.2 m is equal to.

5.5 * 1.2 = 6.6 m ^ 2.

Answer: The area of a given rectangle is 6.6 m ^ 2.
