At first, let's translate centimeters to meters because the area given is in square meters: 76.2 cm=0.762 m
The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width. therefore, the rectangle width is equal to area divided by length. Perform the appropriate calculations: (0.38 m^2)/(0.762 m) = 0.499 m.
Now let's ranslate meters to centimeters to record the answers: 0.499 m = 49.9 cm.

Answer: 49.9 cm.
