Answer:
[tex]z=0.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The area of a rectangle is 1.7 square units. The length is 3.4 units and the width is z units.
To find: Value of z
Solution: We know that area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length and width.
Here, length is given by 3.4 units and width is given by z units.
So, area of rectangle is [tex]3.4\times z[/tex]
Now, area of the rectangle is given as 1.7 square units.
In order o get the value of z we need to equate the two areas.
[tex]3.4\times z=1.7[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{1.7}{3.4}[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{17}{34}[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]z=0.5[/tex]
Hence, [tex]z=0.5[/tex] is correct.
