To find the missing length \( s \) given that two sides are 7 inches and 3 inches and the area is 30 square inches, we can assume these dimensions might be the sides of a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is calculated with the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
In this case, if we take the sides to be \( 7 \) inches and \( s \) inches, we can set up the equation:
\[
7 \times s = 30
\]
Now we solve for \( s \):
\[
s = \frac{30}{7}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
s \approx 4.29 \text{ inches}
\]
Thus, the missing length \( s \) is approximately \( 4.29 \) inches.
