Question

A triangle and a rectangle are shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

w=10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2*8 cm*6 cm = 24 cm^2

Area of the rectangle=5*24 cm^2=120 cm^2

width*length=120 cm^2

width=120 cm^2/(12 cm)

Answer 2

Answer:

The Width = 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Area of Triangle = 1/2 × 6 × 8 = 24cm^2

From the question:

Area of rectangle = 5 times area of triangle

L × W = 5 × 24

12 × W = 120

12W/12 = 120/12

W = 10cm
