The area of each small triangle is 12 cm. The length of the rectangle is 8 cm. Calculate its width.

In order to find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length of the rectangle by its width:

S = a * b, where S is the area of the rectangle, a is the length of the rectangle, b is the width of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle and the length of the rectangle are known. Let’s find the width of the rectangle:

b = S: a;

b = 12: 8;

b = 1.5 (cm) – the width of the rectangle.

Answer: 1.5 centimeters wide of the rectangle.
