the area of a rectangle is 45.5 square inches. the base of the rectangle is 7 inches. what is the height of rectangle in in inches?
245, 595,494
To find the height of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
Area = Length x Width
In this case, the area is given as 45.5 square inches, and the base (width) of the rectangle is given as 7 inches. We can substitute these values into the formula to solve for the height (length) of the rectangle.
Let's rearrange the formula to solve for the height (length):
Length = Area / Width
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Length = 45.5 square inches / 7 inches
Calculating this division, we get:
Length = 6.5 inches
Therefore, the height of the rectangle is 6.5 inches.
Rectangle has width (W) and length (L), not height.
W * L = Area
W * 7 = 45.5
Solve for W.
