Terrell Stark · Answer 1

6.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length * width

15.86 = 2.6 * x

15.86/2.6 = x

6.1 = x

Mad Max · Answer 2

Area is 2.6 x width = 15.86

Rearrange the equation

The opposite of multiplying is dividing so we can divide to undo the equation and get the width

15.86/2.6 = 6.1

6.1 inches long
