Answer 2

hint : \(\large \text{area = base}\times \text{height}\)

Answer 3

ok, i'll try it

Answer 4

height is also called as altitude, perhaps sketching a quick rough diagram helps with these geometry problems

Answer 5

Ok, still not understanding how this is to be worked out

Answer 6

you're given \(\large \text{area} = 45\) and \(\large \text{height} = 5\)

plug them in the formula and solve the unknown

Answer 7

I think it's 9 do I divide

Answer 8

Yes!
