Given the statement:

A rectangle measures 20 meters by 48 meters.

Determine the length of the rectangle.

Explanation:

Statements are often represented in the form length by width, hence by looking at our given, we cannot simply determine which is one is the length or which one is the width. In such case we will assume that it is represented as length by width, therefore the length of the rectangle is 20 meters.

Final answer:

Length of the rectangle = 20 meters
