The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = lw. Solve the formula

for w. Then describe the meaning of the transformed formula.

A = lw. To solve the formula for w, you have to divide each side by l

A/l = w. This formula means that the Area divided by length must equal the width.

w = A/l

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

Divide both sides by by l

A/l = lw/l

A/l = w

w = A/l

Where w = width

A = area

l = length

W = A/l can be used to find the width of a rectangle when the area and length are given
