Question 412626
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Not necessarily.  If the area is *[tex \Large 20\,m^2] AND the length is *[tex \Large 10\,m], THEN the width must be *[tex \Large 2\,m].  But just knowing the area doesn't tell you anything specific about the dimensions of the sides.  Consider a rectangle that is *[tex \Large 4\,m] by *[tex \Large 5\,m] or another that is *[tex \Large 2000\,m] by *[tex \Large 1\,cm], both of which have an area of *[tex \Large 20\,m^2].

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
