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."

Area = (length) times (width)Length = (area) divided by (width)Width = (area) divided by (length)
How do you find the length of an rectangle by given the area and width?
Divide the area by the width and it will give you the length.
How do you find width of a rectangle when given area?
Divide the area by the length will give you the width
How do you find the missing length in a rectangle?
That will depend on the information given as for example if you are given its width and area then in order to find its length divide the width into the area.
How do you find the width of a figure when given the leanth and the area?
