You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, there--
.
I presume that the shape you are talking about is a rectangle. You know that the length is 6m and the area is 720 square meters. You find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length times the width.
.
If L is the length and W is the width, we can say length times width is 720. Since the length is 6, we ask, "6 times what number is 720?" or 6 x _____ = 720.
.
You might be able to do this mentally, if not you can divide 720 by 6.
.
The width of the rectangle is 120m.
.
I hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you have questions about this explanation.
