Given:
Area = 18 yd^2
Lenght = 6 yd
Width = ?
Since we are given the area and the length, and the width is missing, we'll assume that the shape is a rectangle, hence in order to find for the width we refer to the formula for the area of the rectangle.
Formula for the area of the rectangle:
A = lw
w = A/l
Solution:
Substitute the given values of Area and length to the formula for the width in terms of the area.
w = 18 yd^2/6 yd
w = 3 yd
Final answer:
The width is 3 yards.
