Question 1001052: A rectangle is 25 feet long.Its area is 375 square feet.What is the width of the rectangle?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
