The area of a rectangle is 136 cm. What is its length if its width is 8 cm?

We know that in order to find what the area of a rectangle is, it is necessary to multiply its length by its width. But since from the condition of the problem we know that the area of this rectangle is 136 cm ^ 2, and its width is 8 cm, therefore we can calculate what its length is. To do this, we need to divide its area by its width. Let’s write the calculation:

136/8 = 17 cm.

Answer: The length of the given rectangle is 17 cm.
