The two rectangles have the same area. the length of the first rectangle is 1.6 m

The two rectangles have the same area. the length of the first rectangle is 1.6 m and the width is 0.5 m. The length of the second rectangle is 4 m. Find the width of the second rectangle.

Given:
The two rectangles have the same area.
The length a of the first figure is 1.6 meters.
The width b of the first rectangle is 0.5 meters.
The length of the second quadrangle is 4 meters.

We calculate the area of the first rectangle using the formula S = a * b:
S = a * b = 1.6 * 0.5 = 0.8 m2.
So the area of the second is also 0.8 m2.
Let’s calculate the width of the second shape:
0.8: 4 = 0.2 meters.
Answer: the required width is 0.2 meters.
