13. higher order thinking a rectangular poster has an area of 504 square centimeters. the width of the poster is 14 centimeters. how long is the poster? write equations to show your work.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall the area formula for a rectangle
The area formula for a rectangle is (A = l\times w), where (A) is the area, (l) is the length, and (w) is the width.
Step2: Substitute the known values into the formula
We know that (A = 504) square centimeters and (w = 14) centimeters. So the equation becomes (504=l\times14).
Step3: Solve for the length (l)
To find (l), we use the formula (l=\frac{A}{w}). Substituting the values, we get (l=\frac{504}{14}). [ \begin{align*} l&=\frac{504}{14}\ l& = 36 \end{align*} ]
Answer:
The length of the poster is (36) centimeters.
