Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 15SGR

The required length = 15 feet .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The area of the gymnastic mat =142.5 square feet.

The width of the gymnastic mat =9.5 feet.

Calculation:

Area of rectangle = length×width

Plugging the known values:

  142.5=length⋅9.5

Isolating length by dividing 9.5 on both sides.

  142.59.5=length⋅9.59.5⇒length=15
