Question

If I cut a piece that was 5 centimeters wide and had an area of 20 centimeters. How long was the piece?

Answer 1

Area= Length x width
So....
Length= Area divided by width.
Plug in equation
20 divided by 5= L
L= 4
Answer is 4 cm

Answer 2

Its length is 4 cm because length multiplied by width = area

so 5x = 20

x = 4

length = 4 centimeters
