The width of a rectangle is 1\3 of its length. What is the area if the length is 15 feet?


A) 75 square feet
B) 5 square feet
C) 20 square feet
D) 40 square feet

Respuesta :

Width = 5
Length = 15

This is how I found the width:
Width = 1/3 x 15. This is the same as 15/3. 15/3=5

Now just plug into the equation to find area:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 15 x 5
Area = 75 square feet

Answer: A) 75 square feet
