Dimensions Problem Solving
📚 What You'll Learn
- Finding unknown dimensions when area is given
- Using division to solve for missing sides
- Working backwards from perimeter to dimensions
- Problem-solving strategies for complex shapes
In this video, we're going to learn how to find unknown dimensions!
Sometimes you know the area of a rectangle but not all the sides. If a rectangle has an area of 24 square units and one side is 6 units, what's the other side?
We can use division to find out: 24 ÷ 6 = 4. So the missing side is 4 units!
This works because area = length × width. If we know the area and one dimension, we can divide to find the other.
Now you're ready to solve dimension problems on your own!
