Answer:

22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

when you find area you multiply the length and the width, but to find the width you would need to do the inverse operation which would be dividing 242 by 11 which is 22

Answer:

The wall is 22 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular wall  = A =[tex] 242 ft^2[/tex]

Length of the wall= l = 11 ft

Width of the wall = w = ?

Area of the rectangle = l × w

[tex]242 ft^2=11 ft\times w[/tex]

[tex]w=\frac{242 ft^2}{11 ft}=22 ft[/tex]

The wall is 22 feet wide.
