Answer:

H=1/2

Explanation:

the area of a rectangle is given by A=L*H

L is already given, L= 5/3

A is given, A=5/6

therefore: 5/6 = (5/3)*H

H=(5/6) * (3/5) = 1/2

Answer:
\displaystyle (1)/(2) ft

Explanation:

We are given the length and the area;

A = L * W

We will plug in the values given, and solve for the unknown.

A = L * W


(5)/(6) =
(5)/(3) * ?


\displaystyle ((5)/(6))/((5)/(3) ) =?


\displaystyle (5)/(6) *
\displaystyle (3)/(5) = ?


\displaystyle (5*3)/(6*5) = ?


\displaystyle (15)/(30) = ?


\displaystyle (1)/(2) = ?

The height is
\displaystyle (1)/(2) ft.
