Question

The area of a rectangular ink pad is 130 square centimeters. The ink pad is 13 centimeters wide. How tall is it?

​
centimeters

Answer 1

To find the height of the rectangular ink pad, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

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

Given that the area is 130 square centimeters and the width is 13 centimeters, you can set up the equation:

\[
130 = 13 \times \text{height}
\]

To find the height, divide both sides of the equation by 13:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{130}{13}
\]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[
\text{height} = 10
\]

Thus, the height of the ink pad is

\[
\boxed{10} \text{ centimeters}.
\]
