Answer:
w = 2.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of the triangle is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the height )
Here b = 5 and h = 6, thus
A = 0.5 × 5 × 6 = 15 cm²
Thus the area of the rectangle is 15 cm²
A = lw ( l is the length and w the width )
Here l = 6 and w is to be found
6w = 15 ( divide both sides by 6 )
w = 2.5 cm
