Answer :

Lanuel
  1. If the area of the side of the rectangle is x cm², an expression of L in terms of x is given by L = x/W.
  2. If the width of the wire is 13 cm, the length of the side of the rectangle is 5.46 cm.

Given the following data:

Area of rectangle, x = 71 cm².

Width of rectangle, W = 13 cm.

How to calculate the area of a rectangle?

Mathematically, the area of a rectangle can be calculated by using this formula:

A = LW

Where:

  • A represents the area of a rectangle.
  • L represents the length of a rectangle.
  • W represents the width of a rectangle.

How to find an expression of L in terms of x?

x = LW

L = x/W.

Therefore, an expression of L in terms of x is given by: L = x/W.

Substituting the given parameters into the expression, we have;

L = 71/13

Length, L = 5.46 cm.
