The width of the desk will be 38.4inches
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
