I am confused on the answer they are looking for when they ask what do you need to find
Alena
The answer is 6 but I am confused on how they want me to answer the questions
Ms. Sue
6 doesn't answer either of the questions.
You know that the base measures 9 feet.
You know that the area is 54 square feet.
What do you need to find?

I would need to find the height and that would be l x w
9x 6 equals 54
9x 6 equals 54
Ms. Sue
Yay! You've got it!
