A rectangle has a width of 12.4 ft and a length of 50 ftwhat is the length of the rectangle?
To answer the question as written: If the length of a rectangle
is given as being 50 feet, then the length of the rectangle is 50
feet. To answer the question that is really being asked, if the
width of a rectangle is 12.4 feet and the length of 50 feet, the
area can be found by multiplying the length by the width.
Therefore, the are of the rectangle would be 620 square feet. If
however, the question was to determine the perimeter, you would use
the formula 2l+2w=p so you would add 12.4 +12.4+50+50, for a
perimeter of 124.8 feet.
