Find the area of each rectangle using the given information.(A=W x H)Question 9:6 and a height of 36 inches.

Sagot :

The rule of the area of a rectangle is

[tex]A=W\times H[/tex]

W is the width

H is the height

Since the ratio between width and height is 9: 6 and the height is 36 inches, then we will use the ratio method

[tex]\begin{gathered} W\rightarrow H \\ 9\rightarrow6 \\ W\rightarrow36 \end{gathered}[/tex]

By using the cross multiplication

[tex]\begin{gathered} W\times6=9\times36 \\ 6W=324 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6W}{6}=\frac{324}{6} \\ W=54 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the width of the rectangle is 54 inches

Substitute W by 54 and H by 36 in the rule of the area to find it

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=54\times36 \\ A=1944inches^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The area of the rectangle is 1944 square inches
