What is the length of a rectangle with an area of 48 yd^2 and a width of 3 yd?

A. 8 yd.

B 16 yd

C 18 yd

D 21 yd

Choice B is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

From question statement, we observe that

We have given the width and the area of rectangle.

Area = 48 yd² and Width = 3 yd

We use the formula of area of rectangle.

Area = length * width

Putting the values of area and width of formula, we get

48 = length * 3

Hence, length = 48 / 3

length = 16 yd

hence, the length of rectangle is 16 yd.

=12yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by area=length*width

Therefore, length of a rectangle is obtained by dividing it's area with the width of the rectangle

Length=Area/Width

substituting for the values in the formula we get the following

= 48yd²/3yd

=12yd
