Question

The area of a rectangle is 120 square feet and its base measures 8 feet. Determine the height andthe perimeter of the rectangle. Do not include units in your answers.

Answer 1

To determine the height, we will use the formula below;

`A=b* h`

where A is the area of the of the rectangle

b is the base

h is the height

From the question,

A=120 b=8

substitute the values into the above and solve for h

`120=8* h`

Divide both-side of the equation by 8

`(120)/(8)=\text{ h}`
`15\text{ = h}`

The height is 15 feet

The primeter = 2b + 2h

=2(8) + 2(15)

= 16 + 30

= 46 feet
