Question

One of the rectangular display boards at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium has a screen size of 11,393 square feet. If the width of the board is 160 feet, find its height. (Round to the nearest tenth)

• 35.6
• 71.2
• 2768.3
• 5536.5

Answer 1

The answer is 71.2

Explanation:

The formula of finding the area of an rectangle is A=bh.

We know the area the width of the board. And width can also be the base of the rectangle.

A=bh

11,393= 160h

now you divide 160 on both sides.

`(11,393)/(160)`=
`(160h)/(160)`

and this gives you

71.20625=h

around it to the nearest tenths, and this gives you

71.2=h

Answer 2

71.2

Explanation:

The area for a rectangle is width x height.

11393=160x

11393/160=x

71.2=x
