We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = base x height
We know that the area is 55.5 square inches and the height is 15 inches. We can plug these values into the formula and solve for the base:
55.5 = base x 15
Divide both sides by 15:
base = 55.5 / 15
Simplify:
base = 3.7 inches
Therefore, the length of the base of the rectangle is 3.7 inches.
The area of a rectangle is 55.5 square inches. The height of the rectangle is 15 inches. What is the length of the base of the rectangle in inches?
