The longest runway at an airport has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 2 comma 312 comma 300 square feet. This runway is 190 feet wide. How long is the runway?

L = 12170 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The runaway at the airport has the shape of a rectangle and the area of 2,312,300 ft². The rectangular runaway is 190 ft wide. The length is what we are asked to find.

area of a rectangle = LW

Where

L = length

W = width

area of a rectangle = LW

area of the rectangular runaway = 2,312,300 ft²

W = 190 ft

L = ?

2,312,300 = L * 190

2,312,300 = 190L

divide both sides by 190

L = 2,312,300/190

L = 12170 ft
