Mr. Jamison will stain the deck in his backyard.The deck has an area of 752.4 square feet.If the deck is 33 feet long, how wide is it? justify your procedures
Answer: The width of the deck is 22.8 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Area of the deck = 752.4 square feet
Length of deck = 33 feet
Let width of deck be 'x'.
Since Deck is in the shape of rectangle.
As we know the formula for "Area of rectangle ":
\(Area=Length\times width\\\\752.4=33\times x\\\\\dfrac{752.4}{33}=x\\\\22.8=x\)
Hence, the width of the deck is 22.8 feet.
