I know that I have a rectangle room where one wall is 50 ft. long and the area is 1380 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( " How do I find the length of the other wall?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can figure this out, you know that: Area = Length * Width, we can write this:
\n" ); document.write( "L * W = A
\n" ); document.write( "we know L = 50 ft and A = 1380, so we can write an equation
\n" ); document.write( "50 * W = 1380, find W, the length of the other wall
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 50
\n" ); document.write( " $\"50%2F50\"$ * L = $\"1380%2F50\"$
\n" ); document.write( "1L = 27.6 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The width or the length or the length of the other wall is 27.6 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can prove this to yourself, find the area using 50 by 27.6
\n" ); document.write( "50 * 27.6 = 1380 sq/ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Did this make sense to you now? \n" ); document.write( "
