Start with the formula for the area of a rectangle:
A+=+L%2AW
You are given the area (A = 60 square meters) and the width (W = 6 meters). You can find the length, L, by substituting the given values for A (60) and W (6) into the formula and solve for the length, L.
60+=+L%286%29 Divide both sides by 6.
10+=+L
The length is is 10 meters.
