Question

Area of a rectangle is 30cm² . Could you find the missing side in this case?Width is= 6cm

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is given as

A = L x W

Given the area and the width, the missing side can be calculated as follows;

`\begin{gathered} A=L* W \\ 30=L*6 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 6} \\ (30)/(6)=(6L)/(6) \\ 5=L \end{gathered}`

The missing side therefore is 5cm
