Question

Let’s consider all possible rectangles with the same area of 30 square inches. Please note: the length of the sides are whole numbers.

Question: Let the base of such a rectangle be x and the height be y. How would y depend on x?

Y=?

Please help! Please don't write a bunch of nonsense for the points!!!!!!! I beg!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Base of the rectangle = x
Height of the rectangle = y

Area = length x height
30 = x.y

y = 30/x
