Noah would like to cover a rectangular tray with rectangular tiles. The tray has a width of inches and an area of square inches.
Find the area of Triangle A in square centimeters.
Show your reasoning.
The area of Triangle B is 8 square units. Find the length of . Show your reasoning.
The area of Triangle C is square units.
What is the length of ? Show your reasoning.
If a rectangle has side lengths units and units, the area is square units. For example, if we have a rectangle with -inch side lengths, its area is (or ) square inches.
This means that if we know the area and one side length of a rectangle, we can divide to find the other side length.
If one side length of a rectangle is in and its area is in2, we can write this equation to show their relationship:
Then we can find the other side length, in inches, using division:
