The answer is: "4" .
______________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>: The question asks for a whole number.
"The area of the triangle above will equal one half of a rectangle that is 5 units long and <u> 4 </u><u /> units wide. (Input only whole numbers, such as 8.).
______________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>: The diagram shows a "right triangle" ; which would be "one-half" of a rectangle, with units of "length" being "5 units" (as mentioned in this very question prompt; and a width of "4" units (as shown in the diagram; hence the answer is "4" units).
Furthermore, the formula/equation for the area, "A" , of a triangle is:
A = (1/2) * b * h ;
that is:
Area = (1/2) * (base length) * (perpendicular height).
_________________________________________________
As such, the answer, "4" (units) makes sense.

Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.
