the sides on the image 3 ft 8 ft 2 ft ?

Tessa designed a supply closet as an addition to her house the closet is pictured and it's total area 36 square feet what is the length in feet on the side of the supply closet labeled with the question mark.

To find the length of the side labeled with the question mark, we need to determine the dimensions of the supply closet.

From the picture, we can see that the supply closet is a rectangle with sides of 3 ft, 8 ft, and an unknown length (let's call it x ft).

Since we know the total area of the supply closet is 36 square feet, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: length x width = area.

(3 ft)(8 ft) = 24 square feet
(8 ft)(x ft) = 8x square feet

Adding these two areas together should give us the total area of 36 square feet:
24 + 8x = 36
8x = 12
x = 1.5 ft

Therefore, the length of the side labeled with the question mark is 1.5 feet.
