A rectangle is 10 inches longer than it is tall. The height of the rectangle is 7 inches. What is the area of the rectangle?(1 point)
Let x represent the length of the rectangle.
Since the rectangle is 10 inches longer than it is tall, we have:
x = 7 + 10
x = 17
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 17 inches.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its height:
Area = length x height
Area = 17 inches x 7 inches
Area = 119 square inches
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 119 square inches.
