Jonathan's rectangular patio has an area of 299.49 square ft. It is 13.4 ft long . How wide is Jonathan's patio, in ft?

Respuesta :

The formula for area is A=LW L being length and W being width
A= 299.49
L=13.4
W=?
299.49=13.4(L)
divide both sides by 13.4 and you get the answer 
L=22.35 ft
To solve this problem, write an equation

229.49 represents total size of the patio and 13.4 represents the length.
x represents the width.

229.49 = 13.4 * x

Divide 13.4

x = 17.126 

The patio is 17.126 feet wide.
