Question

The area of a rectangular front porch is 266 square feet. It is 14 feet wide. How long is it?

Answer 1

The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is

Area = length x width

From the information given,

area = 266

width = 14

Thus,

266 = 14 x length

length = 266/14

length = 19

It is 19 feet long
