In a rectangle its area measures 60 cm and its base measures 15 cm. So its height measures is??
a) 4 cm
b) 5 cm
c) 6 cm
d) 8 cm
e) 10 cm​


Sagot :

Answer: D) 8 cm

Explanation:

Area is 1/2 *base* height

60=1/2 *15* height

120=15* height

Height = 8 cm

[tex]======================[/tex]

Based on the analysis of alternatives, we can say that the correct alternative is the letter A. And to get this result, let's remember the formula we used to calculate the area of a rectangle.

•And what formula is this?

[tex] \: \boxed{A = B × H} [/tex]

Where ;

  • A = Area of rectangle
  • B = Base of rectangle
  • H : Height of rectangle

Knowing this formula, let's settle the question.

  • Did she tell us that in a rectangle, its area measures 60 cm? and its base measures 15 cm. That said, ask us what its height is worth.

Let's write down the values:

  • A = 60 cm²
  • B = 15 cm
  • H = ?

Applying in the formula:

[tex]60 = 15.h \\ h = \frac{60}{15} [/tex]

[tex] \: \boxed{H = 4cm} [/tex]
