Remember, the formula for the area of a rectangle is A=lw, or Area = Length * Width.
Now, we know the area and the length. Plug them into the equation:
375=25*w
Now we need to isolate w to find the width. (Solve for w.)
Thus, we divide 25 from both sides to have w by itself.
375 divided by 25 is 15.
15=w
Thus, we know that w=15; The width of the rectangle is 15 feet.
