Question

The area of a rectangle is 38.25 square yards and its base is 9 yards. What is the height? Do not round your answer. h = ___ yd

Answer 1

The equation that calculates the area of a rectangle is base x height,
therefore, we can make use of algebras to solve this problem.

let the height be h.
9 x h = 38.25
shift x9 to the other side and turn it into ÷9
h = 38.25 ÷ 9
h = 4.25

therefore, the answer should be h = 4.25 yd
