Answer:
The width of the foil = w = 2.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the Area of a rectangular piece:
[tex]A=wl[/tex]
Here:
- 'w' is the width
- 'l' is the length
Given that area of the rectangular piece of foil:
Area = A = 11 1/4 square inches
= 45/4 square inches
= 11.25 square inches
Length = l = 4 1/2 inches
= 9/2 inches
= 4.5 inches
Using the Area formula
[tex]A=wl[/tex]
[tex]w\:=\:\frac{A}{l}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{11.25}{4.5}[/tex]
[tex]= 2.5[/tex] inches
Thus, the width of the foil = w = 2.5 inches
