The area of a rectangle is 36 square centimeters and its length is 9 centimeters. What is the width of the rectangle?

the formula for the area of a rectangle is (length x width) so, 9 x ? = 36 which can also be written as 36 ÷ 9 = ? and (36 ÷ 9 = 4)
Length x Width = Area 9 cm x 4 cm = 36 cm²

The width of the rectangle is 4 centimeters.
To determine the width of a rectangle when given its area and its length, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area = Length × Width. In this case, the area is 36 square centimeters, and the length is 9 centimeters.
We can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:

Width = Area ÷ Length
Substituting the given values:
Width = 36 cm² ÷ 9 cm
Width = 4 cm

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 4 centimeters.
