Louis owns a rectangular piece of property with an area of 1, square miles. The length of the property is 2) miles. What is the width of the property?

mile

O2 miles

O 3 miles

O4 miles

The Width of the property is 1/2 (or 0.5) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step I - Formula for the length of a rectangle is given as

L =

Where L = Lenght

A =  Area and

w = Width

Step II - Insert values

We have L to be equal to 2 Miles, and

W to be equal to 1 square mile

Therefore

2 =

To obtain w, we have to collect like terms to one side of the equation by cross multiplying

So

=

Cross multiplying we have

2w = 1

to get the value of w, we divide both sides by 2

=

On the left side we are left with w, whilst on the right side we are left with a fraction - 1/2 (which in decimal form is 0.5)

Therefore, w = 0.5 Miles and this is the width of the property.

To confirm, Area of a rectangle is given by A = w * l

If we insert our figures, we'd get 0.5 x 2

Which is equals to 1 which was given in the question.

Cheers!

step-by-step explanation:

rectangles are made up of 4 right angles, which means that a side and a base meet perpendicular to one another.   their slopes then have to reflect perpendicular slopes.   perpendicular slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another.   for example, if the slope of one line is +2/3, then the perpendicular slope to that would be -3/2.   so we look for that combination in our choices.

all of them satisfy that condition (so what's the question, i guess? )
