Answer:

The length of the other side is 7.65m

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria's mistake was that she wanted to move the decimal point 2 places to the left, when she should have moved it 1 place, since that is the number of zeros that the number 10 has.

To find the length of the rectangle, we simply divide the area by the width

a = area = 76.5 m

w = width = 10m

l = length

l = a/w

l = 76.5m² / 10m

l = 7.65m

The length of the other side is 7.65m
