A field has an area of \(\frac{9}{20}\) square miles. Find the width of the field if the length is \(\frac{9}{10}\) miles long.
Answer (3)
Width=Area/Length
Area=9/20(.45)
Length=9/10(.9)
w=.45/.9
w=1/2
Therefore, the width is 1/2(.5)
The area of this rectangle is 9/20 miles squared, then the **width **of the **rectangle **exists 1/2.
What is the length of a rectangle called?
A rectangle is a shape with only two dimensions. It is a **quadrilateral **whose opposite sides are each the same length and parallel, and whose four interior angles are each 90° (circ). As an equiangular quadrilateral, it is also known. The length and width of a rectangle are its longer and shorter sides , respectively.
To find the **area **of a rectangle:
a = l × w
Where l is the length and w is the width.
length: A= 9/10 miles
Area: w = 9/20 miles
Area = **length **× Width
9/20 miles = 9/10 miles × Width
**Width **= (9/20 miles) / (9/10 miles)
simplifying the above equation, we get
= 20 ⋅ 9 9 ⋅ 10 $
= 10/20
**Cancel **the numbers: 10/20 = 1/2
= 1/2
Therefore, the area of this rectangle is 9/20 miles squared, then the width of the **rectangle **exists 1/2.
