This question tests 4th grade application of rectangle area and perimeter formulas to find missing dimensions (CCSS.4.MD.3). The area formula A = L × W means length times width equals area. To find a missing dimension when area is known, divide the area by the known dimension. For perimeter P = 2L + 2W, find the sum of both dimensions (P ÷ 2), then subtract the known dimension to find the unknown dimension. The rectangular classroom floor has an area of 96 square feet and a length of 12 feet, requiring students to find the width. Choice A is correct because dividing the area by the known length gives the width: 96 ÷ 12 = 8 feet, demonstrating understanding the formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor. Choice C represents multiplying instead of dividing (12 × 9 = 108, perhaps confusing with perimeter), which happens when students don't recognize the area formula requires division to solve backwards. To help students: Use area models with grid paper to show L × W = A visually, demonstrating that if you know A and L, you can find W by dividing. For perimeter, draw rectangles and label all four sides to show why the formula is 2L + 2W. Have students write out the formula with known values plugged in, then solve for the unknown. Watch for: students who multiply when they should divide, students who forget to divide perimeter by 2 before subtracting, and students who confuse area (square units) with perimeter (linear units).

To find a missing dimension when area is known, divide the area by the known dimension. For perimeter P = 2L + 2W, find the sum of both dimensions (P ÷ 2), then subtract the known dimension to find the unknown dimension. The rectangular garden bed has a perimeter of 48 feet and a width of 10 feet, requiring students to find the length. Choice A is correct because half the perimeter minus known width gives length: (48 ÷ 2) - 10 = 14 feet, demonstrating understanding the formula as an equation to solve for the unknown. Choice B represents not dividing by 2 first: 48 - 2×10 = 28, then perhaps misapplying, which happens when students forget both dimensions appear twice in perimeter. To help students: For perimeter, draw rectangles and label all four sides to show why the formula is 2L + 2W.
