    The width of my neighbor,'s room is 18 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    My neighbor is buying new carpet for her bedroom floor. The length of the bedroom is 16 feet. The room has the shape of a rectangle. Although it was not mentioned, we can tell from the area of the room given. If the room was a square, all the sides would have been equal. Since it's a rectangle having length and width of different sizes.

    Area = length * width

    Area = 288 square feet

    Length = 16 feet

    Width = 288/16 = 18 feet

    The width of the room is longer than the length of the room
