The area of a rectangle is 120 square feet and its base measures 8 feet. Determine the height andthe perimeter of the rectangle. Do not include units in your answers.

Respuesta :

To determine the height, we will use the formula below;

[tex]A=b\times h[/tex]

where A is the area of the of the rectangle

b is the base

h is the height

From the question,

A=120 b=8

substitute the values into the above and solve for h

[tex]120=8\times h[/tex]

Divide both-side of the equation by 8

[tex]\frac{120}{8}=\text{ h}[/tex][tex]15\text{ = h}[/tex]

The height is 15 feet

The primeter = 2b + 2h

=2(8) + 2(15)

= 16 + 30

= 46 feet
