Q8. - Geometry

Question

The area of a rectangle is $36m^2$ and base 12cm .What is the height?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The height of the rectangle is 3m 

Step 1. Given information.

Base of the rectangle$b=12m$

Area of the rectangle $A=36m^2$.

Step 2. Concept Used.

If b is the base of the reactangle and h is the height of the rectangle.

Then, the   area of the rectangle is $A=b\times h$

Step 3. Let’s calculate the area of the rectangle.

Put the value of area and base  into the formula and find the height.

Area of the rectangle :

$\begin{array}{c}36=12\times h\\ h=\frac{36}{12}\\ =3m\end{array}$

Therefore, the height of the rectangle is3m .
