A rectangle has a length of 4 feet and an area of 36 feet square what is the width of this rectangle.

Step 1. Area = length * width or A=L*W where A is the area, L is the length, and W is the width

Step 2. Then W=A/L=36/4= 9 feet.

Step 3. ANSWER: The width is 9 feet in length.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
