Amber draws a rectangle with an area of 48 centimeters. She labels one of the sides 6 centimeters, but forgets the other side. What is the missing length?
A rectangle has an unknown length and a width of 6 centimeters.
A.7 cm
B.8 cm
C.12 cm
D.36 cm
9 / 13
To find the missing length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: A = l x w, where A is the area, l is the length, and w is the width. We know that the width is 6 centimeters and the area is 48 centimeters, so we can plug those values into the formula and solve for the length:
48 = l x 6
l = 48 / 6
l = 8
Therefore, the missing length is 8 centimeters. The answer is B.
