The area of a rectangle is 72 square meters. If the width of the rectangle is 6, what is the length of the rectangle?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 8

  4. 12

The correct answer is: 12

To find the length of the rectangle, we need to divide the area by the width. 72 square meters divided by 6 meters of width gives us a length of 12 meters. A, B, and C are not correct because they do not result in the given area of 72 square meters when multiplied by a width of 6 meters.
