Question

A rectangle has an area of 100 cm². The base of the rectangle is 25 cm. What is the height of the rectangle? A) 4 cm b)10 cm c)76 cm D)2400 cm

Answer 1

4cm

Explanation:

100cm/25cm=4cm

Answer 2

The answer is the option A

`h=4\ cm`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

`A=bh`

where

b is the base

h is the height

In this problem we have

`A=100\ cm^(2)`

`b=25\ cm`

Substitute in the formula and solve for h

`100=25h`

Divide by
`25` both sides

`h=100/25=4\ cm`
