Answer:

w = 2.5 cm.

Explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2 * 6 * 5 = 15 cm^2.

As the area of the rectangle is the same:

6 * w = 15

w = 15/6

= 2.5 cm.

Answer:

The width measures 2.5 cm

Explanation:

Area of triangle = Area of rectangle

1/2 bh = wh

1/2(5)(6) = w(6)

1/2(30) = 6w

15 = 6w

15 ÷ 6 = w

2.5 = w
