A rectangle has an area of 100 cm². The base of the rectangle is 25 cm. What is the height of the rectangle? A) 4 cm b)10 cm c)76 cm D)2400 cm
Answer:
The answer is the option A
\(h=4\ cm\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a rectangle is equal to
\(A=bh\)
where
b is the base
h is the height
In this problem we have
\(A=100\ cm^{2}\)
\(b=25\ cm\)
Substitute in the formula and solve for h
\(100=25h\)
Divide by \(25\) both sides
\(h=100/25=4\ cm\)
