A given rectangle has an area of 20 feet what is the length for the various widths
------

Area is measured in +units%5E2+ (e.g. ft%5E2).
With the information given, all one can say is
LW = 20 ft%5E2
where
L = length
W = width (both measured in feet)
One could also rearrange the above to L=20/W or W=20/L, all three equations are equivalent.
