Answer:

A. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is equal to length times width. Therefore divide 56.25 (area) by 12.5 to get width because division is the inverse operation of multiplication: 56.25 sq. in. / 12.5 in = 4.5 in

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is: A. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

[tex]A =  w * L[/tex]

Where: w= width, L=length

We know :

[tex]A=56.25inch^{2}[/tex]

L = 12.5 inches

so the formula for the width would be:

[tex]w = \frac{A}{L}[/tex]

[tex]w = \frac{56.25inch^{2}{12.5inch}[/tex]

w= 4.5 inches
