Answer:
w = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that you are looking for the width, given length and the area.
You can solve for the width by isolating width variable.
As a reminder, the area of a rectangle is A = L*W
Let's set up the equation so L is by itself.
[tex]A=lw\\\frac{A}{l} =w[/tex]
Here we see that width is equal to Area divided by length. Now let's plug in our area (55.5) and length (9.25)
[tex]\frac{55.5}{9.25} = w[/tex]
The answer you get is:
[tex]w=6[/tex]
You can check to make sure length and width equal the area by multiplying them together.
6 * 9.25 does indeed equal 55.5.
