Answer:
The shape of the mat is a square
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the rectangle (An Olympic floor exercise mat) is equal to
[tex]A=LW[/tex]
we have that
[tex]A=144\ ft^{2}[/tex]
[tex]L=12\ ft[/tex]
substitute the values and solve for W
[tex]144=12W[/tex]
[tex]W=144/12=12\ ft[/tex]
so
The length is equal to the width
therefore
The shape of the mat is a square
