Answer 1

7 inches

Explanation:

Now the area of a rectangle equals to length by width or in this scenario, height by base.

Therefore, we take a look at what we already have.

We got 5 inches for height and 35 squared inches as the area.

h= 5 inches a=35squared inches b=?

*Therefore, 5 x b =35

Through substitution this becomes:

*35/5= b

*Therefore b=7 inches
