Answer:
The real answer is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Fairly simple. You know the length and the area, but you don't know the width. So your equation looks like this: 30 x ? = 180. But to figure out the width, you change the position of the numbers in the equation like this:
180 ÷ 30 = ?. Then you solve. 180 ÷ 30 = 6. If you want to double check your answer, you can plug in your answer to your original equation, 30 x 6 = 180.
Hope this helps!
Equation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
18^2 + 16^2 = c^2
324 + 256 = c^2
C^2 = square root 580
Square root 580 reduces to 2 square root 145.
As a decimal that is: 24.08
Rounded to the nearest tenth: 24 inches.
I hope this helps! If it does please offer me the brainiest!
