the area of a rectangle, a, can be found using the formula shown, where l is the length and w is the width.
a = l · w
complete the equation to represent w in terms of a and l.
w =
w = /

Explanation:

Step1: Start with the area formula

We know the area of a rectangle is given by \( A = l \cdot w \), where \( A \) is the area, \( l \) is the length, and \( w \) is the width.

Step2: Solve for \( w \)

To isolate \( w \), we divide both sides of the equation \( A = l \cdot w \) by \( l \) (assuming \( l
eq 0 \)). This gives us \( \frac{A}{l}=w \), or \( w = \frac{A}{l} \).

Answer:

\( w = \dfrac{A}{l} \) (So the first box is \( A \) and the second box is \( l \))
