Answer:
Width of the rectangle is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle can is made up of two right angled triangle as shown.
Since area of a rectangle = [tex]base * height[/tex]
Area of one of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ * \ area\ of\ the\ rectangle[/tex]
The length and width of the triangle will be the same as that of the rectangle i.e 5units long and 2units wide
Area of one of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} * 5 * 2[/tex]
Area of one of the triangle = 5units²
The area of the triangle above will equal one half of a rectangle that is 5 units long and 2 units wide.
