If this is for a square or rectangle... the formula is:
Area=Length x Width
so, if you know the Area and the Length, the Width would be found this way:
Area/Length = Width, or written out: Area divided by Length = Width
Example: A rectangle where the known dimensions are:
Area = 30 feet squared
Length = 6 feet
30 feet squared / 6 feet = 5 feet
Answer: Width = 5 feet
Special Note: The units for the Area, meaning feet or inches or centimeters or whatever unit you're measuring in, the "Area" answer is always in Square Units. This is because as you multiply the length units times the width units, the units are multiplied and are thus "squared units."
Hope this helps!
