Answer:

7.5 cm.

Explanation:

The height of a rectangle can be calculated using the rectangle's base and area using the following formula:

height = area / base

This formula can be derived from the formula for the area of a rectangle:

area = base x height

By rearranging this formula, we get:

height = area / base

Therefore, if we know the area and base of a rectangle, we can use this formula to calculate its height.

1) rewrite

Height = are / base

2) plug in

h = 30 cm / 4 cm

3) solve (divide)

height = 7.5 cm

Therefore, the height of the rectangle is 7.5 cm.
