A rectangle has an area of 345 square millimeters and a base of 15 millimeters. What is the height?

Respuesta :

Given that a rectangle has an area of 345 square millimeters and a base of 15 millimeters, find the height.

Area of a Rectangle = b x h

So, to find the height, we would reverse it by dividing the area by the base.

Work:

345/15 = 23

So, 23 would be our height.

Thus, the height of the rectangle is 23 millimeters.

Answer:

23 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found using the following formula.

a=b*h

We know that the area is 345 square millimeters and the base is 15 millimeters, but we don't know that the height is.

a=345

b=15

Substitute these variables into the formula.

345=15*h

We want to find out what the height, or h is.  In order to do this, we have to get h by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

h is being multiplied by 15. The opposite of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 15.

345/15=15*h/15

345/15=h

23=h

Add appropriate units. In this case, the units are millimeters.

h=23 millimeters

The height of the rectangle is 23 millimeters.
