Dania Zamora · Answer 1

Length is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle formula: A = LW

Step 1: Make an equation

600 / 20 = 20L / 20

30 = L

Answer: Length is 30 feet

Zachery Meza · Answer 2

A = w*l

Area = 600sq. feet

Wide=20 feet

Long=?

Let's assume long as 'x'

So, A=w*l

600=20*l

600/20=l

30=l

Therefore, the floor is 30 feet

Check:

600=20*l

600=20*30

600=600

Therefore, my answer is correct
