If a rectangle has an area of 64 square units and a length of 16 units, what is its width? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

The formula for finding area of a rectangle is a=lw.

Write what is given

Area is 64.

Length if 16.

Width is unknown.

Therefore the equation would look like this:

64=16*w

Now to solve for w.

Divide 16 both sides.

64/16 is 4. Therefore:

w=4
