if the area of a rectangle is 27 square inches and one side is 3 inches how many square inches is the other side
Do you mean how many inches (not square inches) on the other side?
To find the length of the other side of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length × Width
In this case, we know that the area is 27 square inches and one side is 3 inches. Let's say the other side is represented by the variable "W".
So, the equation is:
27 = 3 × W
To solve for W, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3:
27 ÷ 3 = W
This gives us:
9 = W
Therefore, the length of the other side is 9 inches.
