Answer:
10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram,
Applying,
lw = 5/2(bh)..................... Equation 1
Where l = length of the rectangle, w = width of the rectangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.
make w the subject of the equation
w = 5(bh)/2l............... Equation 2
From the diagram,
Given: l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm, h = 8 cm
Substitute into equation 2
w = 5(6×8)/(2×12)
w = 10 cm
Hence the width of the rectangle is 10 cm
