A rectangle is a quadrilateral that has 4 sides and angles.

If a rectangular shaped desk has a length of 30 inches and a width of 24 inches and a desk with a similar shape has a length of 48 inches, the width of the desk will be calculated using this expression;

l/w = L/W

30/24 =48/W

Cross multiply

30W = 24 * 48

W = 38.4inches

Hence the width of the desk will be 38.4inches
