B r a i n l i s t to the first person to answer

A rectangle has an area of 1,280.64 square miles and a base of 36.8 miles. What is the height?

Answer 1

34.8 miles

Explanation:

First, we know that Area = Length * Width. Let's plug in those values.

1,280.64 = x * 36.8 (I put the variable "x" there since we don't know what it is)

Now, solve for x (we want to have x by itself, so divide both sides by 36.8)

34.8 = x

Now that we know that the width of it is 34.8 miles, let's check our work.

34.8 * 36.8 = 1,260.64

This equation IS true, so:

The width of the rectangle is 34.8 miles. Hope this helps!
