A rectangular pan has a length that is 43 the width. The total area of the pan is 432 in.2. What is the width of the cake pan? cap A is equal to l w

Let the width be w. The length is 4/3 of the width, so the area equation is (4/3)w² = 432. Multiplying by 3/4 gives w² = 324, so w = 18 inches (the positive value is used for a measurement). The correct choice is 18 in.
