Question

An Olympic floor exercise mat has an area of 144 square meters. It's length is 12 meters.What is the shape of the mat?

Answer 1

Answer:

The shape of the mat is a square

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle (An Olympic floor exercise mat) is equal to

$A=LW$

we have that

$A=144\ ft^{2}$

$L=12\ ft$

substitute the values and solve for W

$144=12W$

$W=144/12=12\ ft$

so

The length is equal to the width

therefore

The shape of the mat is a square
