Tanisha is painting a mural that is in the shape of a rectangle. The mural covers an area of 54 square feet. The base of the mural measures 9 feet. What do you need to find? What information do you know?
I'll be glad to check your answers.
I am confused on the answer they are looking for when they ask what do you need to find
The answer is 6 but I am confused on how they want me to answer the questions
6 doesn't answer either of the questions.
You know that the base measures 9 feet.
You know that the area is 54 square feet.
What do you need to find?
I would need to find the height and that would be l x w
9x 6 equals 54
Yay! You've got it!
Thank you for making me see the light a bit sometimes that is what I need to get the right answer.
Boy I would never be able to do calculus
You're very welcome.
To find what you need to find, let's identify the given information first.
Given information:
- The area of the mural is 54 square feet.
- The base of the mural measures 9 feet.
Now, let's determine what you need to find. Since we know the base measurement and the area, the missing piece of information is the height of the mural, as it is necessary to calculate the area of a rectangle.
Hence, you need to find the height of the mural.
