A rectangular doormat is 21 inches long and has an area of 714 square inches. Find its width. Is the doormat wide enough to cover an entryway of 36 inches wide?

Respuesta :

Answer:

34; 34 inches is not long enough

Step-by-step explanation:

A doormat is the shape of a rectangle and its area uses A=l*w. If the area is 714 and its length is 21, then 714 = 21*w. Solve for w.

714=21w

714/21= 21w/21

34 = w
