Rectangle A has a length of 24 meters and a width of 20 meters. rectangle B has the same area as rectangle A. the width of rectangle B is 12 meters less than the width of rectangle A. what is the length of rectangle B?

To solve this, first we'll find the area of the rectangle A,

Area=length * width

?=24m*20m

480m=24m*20m

480m squared=area of the rectangle A

now we'll find the width of rectangle B,

"the width of rectangle B is 12 meters less than the width of rectangle A",

20m-12m = 8m

8m=width of rectangle B

finally we'll find the length of rectangle B,

area of the rectangle B = 480msquared

width = 8m

length=? (to find this divide the area by the width)

480:8=60m

length of the rectangle B=60m
