Answer 1

HI Carissa,

What is the base of a shape if the width is 8 yards in the areas 96 yd.²?

Given: Width 8 yards, area 96 yd²

Find: Base Shape.

Assumptions: Since I'm not sure what the shape is, for this I'll assume it's a rectangle to be able to show how to solve the problem.

If you have a rectangle, the formula for area is

Area = Length x Width

96 yd² = Length x 8 yd // Plug in the values from above and solve for Length

12 yd = Length

Hope this helps!!
