Question

Read each problem and decide what operation you

use to evaluate it. Then write the equation and solve
D1. The area of a rectangle is 14. sq cm
and one side is 4 cm. How long is the
other side?

Answer 1

b = 3.5 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The area of a rectangle, A = 14. sq cm

The length of one side, l = 4 cm

We need to find the length of another side. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

So,

`14=4b\\\\b=(14)/(4)\\\\b=3.5\ cm`

So, the length of the other side is equal to 3.5 cm.
