228/12= 19

the width is 19feet

Answer 2

Answer: 19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 228 square feet and the length of the rectangle is 12 feet, the width is unknown.

Area of rectangle= 228 square feet

Length= 12 feet

Width= Unknown

Let width be represented by w

Area of a rectangle= length×width

228ft^2 = 12ft × w

w = 228/12

w = 19

This means that the width of the rectangle is 19 feet
