Kyleigh put a large rectangular sticker on her notebook.the height of the sticker measures 10 cm. the base is half as long as the height. what area of the notebook does the sticker cover?

When we are talking about the height and base, let's use the variables h and b. With the information we have been given, we can make the following equations below.

h=10 (the height is 10)

b=h/2 (base is half as long as the height)

We see that h is equal to ten. b is equal to h divided by two, so it is therefore ten divided by 2! We take the value for h and the plug it into the second equation!

b=10/2

b=5

So, we now know that the height is 10 cm and that the base is 5 cm. However, we need to find the area. To find the area of a rectangle, we just multiply the base by the height!

10(5)=50

Therefore, the area of the sticker is 50 cm².

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
