Question

Find the missing measurement. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
length = 7 yd
height = ?
Area = 55.3 yd^2

Question 9 options:

6.1 yards


7.1 yards


6.4 yards


7.9 yards

Answer 1

To find the missing measurement (height), we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{height}
\]

We can rearrange the formula to solve for height:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{length}}
\]

Now, substituting in the values we have:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{55.3 \, \text{yd}^2}{7 \, \text{yd}}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{55.3}{7} \approx 7.9 \, \text{yd}
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the height is approximately:

\[
\text{height} \approx 7.9 \, \text{yd}
\]

So the missing measurement is **7.9 yards**.
