The longest runway at an airport has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 1,443,600 square feet. This runway is 120 feet wide. How long is the runway?

Answer :

Length of the runway is 12,030 feet.

The area of a rectangle is calculated as length multiplied by width. In this case, the area of the runway is given as 1,443,600 square feet, and the width is 120 feet. To find the length of the runway:

Let the length of the runway be x feet.

Given the formula for the area of a rectangle (Area = Length x Width), set up the equation: x * 120 = 1,443,600.

Solve for x: x = 1,443,600 / 120 = 12,030 feet.

Therefore, the length of the runway is 12,030 feet.

2887440. 1,443,600 * 2 =x 120+120=240 x+240= q q=2887440
