Answer:
23 millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle can be found using the following formula.
a=b*h
We know that the area is 345 square millimeters and the base is 15 millimeters, but we don't know that the height is.
a=345
b=15
Substitute these variables into the formula.
345=15*h
We want to find out what the height, or h is. In order to do this, we have to get h by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.
h is being multiplied by 15. The opposite of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 15.
345/15=15*h/15
345/15=h
23=h
Add appropriate units. In this case, the units are millimeters.
h=23 millimeters
The height of the rectangle is 23 millimeters.
