Question

drake is going to lay grass in a backyard with an area of 440 ft². if the length of the yard is 25 ft, then what is the width of the yard? a. 17.6 ft b. 176 ft c. 15.7 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a rectangle

The area formula for a rectangle is \( A = l\times w\), where \(A\) is the area, \(l\) is the length, and \(w\) is the width.

Step2: Solve for the width

We know \(A = 440\space ft^{2}\) and \(l = 25\space ft\). Rearranging the formula for \(w\) gives \(w=\frac{A}{l}\). Substitute the values: \(w=\frac{440}{25}\).
