Answer:

The length of the base of the rectangle is 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of the rectangle can be found out by multiplying length with the breadth

Area= length * breadth

35 squared inches= x *5

5x= 35

x= 35/5

x= 7inches

Hence the length of the base of the rectangle is 7 inches.

If the area and one side are known then we can simply find the 2nd side by simply substituting x in its place and solving the equation.
