New House (Solve word problems to find the unknown side given the area of a rectangular shape)

The video tutorial helps John determine the width of a rectangular kitchen floor by using the area formula. Given that the floor can fit 42 one-foot squares and the length is 7 feet, the video guides viewers through calculating the width. By applying the formula for the area of a rectangle (area = length x width), the unknown width is found to be 6 feet. The lesson emphasizes understanding and applying the area formula to solve for missing dimensions in rectangular shapes.
