The formula for area is A= l*w where l is length and w is width. To solve for the width, divide both sides of the formula by l.
> A= l*w
> A/l= l*w/l
> A/l= w
The formula for solve for width is A/l= w.
Substitute the values of A and l.
> A/l= w
> 144 m2/ 24 m= w
> 6 m= w
The width of the shower block is 6 meters.
