TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Given information.

Base of the rectangle $b = 16 c m$

Area of the rectangle $A = 80 c m^{2}$ .

Step 2. Concept Used.

If b is the base of the reactangle and h is the height of the rectangle.

Then, the area of the rectangle is $A = b \times h$

Step 3. Let’s calculate the area of the rectangle.

Put the value of base and area into the formula and find the height.

Area of the rectangle :

$\begin{matrix} 80 = 16 \times h \\ h = \frac{80}{16} \\ = 5 c m \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the height of the rectangle is 5cm.
