Question

Find the value of X in the following rectangle if the area is 180 square inches

Answer 1

Hello!

You find the area of a rectangle by the equation A = lw

A is area
l is length
w is width

Put in the values you know

180 = 3x * 6

Now you solve it algebraically

Divide both sides by 6

30 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

10 = x

The answer is 10in

Hope this helps!
