Given is a rectangular rug that she wants to put it in the space of her bedroom.
Given is the area of the rug = 6 square meters.
Also the height of the rug is given = 2.5 meters.
It says to find the base of the rug, let's assume base = B meters.
We know the formula for area of the rectangular shape is given as follows :-
Area = Base x Height
6 square meters = B meters x 2.5 meters
[tex] B = \frac{6}{2.5} =\frac{60}{25} = 2.4 \;meters [/tex]
Hence, the base of the rug = 2.4 meters.
