Question 498258: the area of a rectangle is the same as the area of a square with a side of 8 cm. if the length of the rectangle is 16 cm, what is its width in centimeters ? Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area of the square is s*s.
8 * 8 = 64 cm.
the area of the rectangle is LW.
64 = 16 * w
w = 4 cm
