Length (L) equals area (A) divided by width (W); or L = A / W.

Width * Length = Area so..... Width = Area / Length
If you are trying to find the width of a rectangle with length and area then divide the area by the length. A=LxW. Simply divide both sides of the equation by the length and you'll have the width. W=A/L
Multiply the length and width to find the area of both a rectangle and square.
length times width
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the formula: Area = length x width. Given that the perimeter is 72m and the width is 16m, we can calculate the length by using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length + width). Substituting the values we have, 72 = 2(length + 16), which simplifies to length + 16 = 36. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20m. Finally, the area of the rectangle is 20m x 16m = 320 square meters.
