19. The area of a rectangle is the same as the
area of a square with a side of 8 cm. If the
length of the rectangle is 16 cm, what is its
width in centimeters?
(1) 4
(2) 8
(3) 16
(4) 24
(5) 64

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the area of a square and the area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying length x width. Because all of the sides of a square are equal, you get 64 when you multiply two sides together to find the area.

Since the rectangle has the same area as the square, that means the rectangle's width has to be a number that equals 64 when multiplied by 16.

So, 64/16 equals 4.
