The longest runway at an airport has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 2,057,000 square feet. This runway is 170 feet wide. How long is the runway?

The length of the runway is ____ feet.

Answer :

Answer:

The runway is 12100 ft long

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given as:

A = wl

Where w is the width and l is the length

Given that A = 2, 057,000 sq. ft

w = 170 ft

Using these, we can easily find l

2,057,000 = 170l

l = 2,057,000/170

= 12100
