The area of a rectangle is defined to be its length times its width. What the question here is asking is: what do you have to multiply 5.25 cm by to get 44.625 cm²?

Answer: 8.25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of rectangle is given by :-

[tex]\text{Area}=\text{Length}\times\text{Width}[/tex]

Given : The length of rectangle: l= 5.25 cm

The area of rectangle:[tex] A=44.625\ cm^2[/tex]

Substitute the values of A and l in the formula given above, we get

[tex]44.625=5.25\times\text{Width}[/tex]

Divide 5.25 both sides , we get

[tex]\text{Width}=\dfrac{44.625}{5.25}=8.5[/tex]

Hence , the other length of the rectangle have to be 8.25 cm.
