Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

w=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh

the base is 5 and the height is 3

A = 1/2 (3) * 5 = 15/2  units ^2

The area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

A = 5w

The area of the triangle = 1/2 the area of the rectangle

15/2 = 1/2 *5w

15/2 = 5/2 w

Multiply each side by 2/5 to isolate w

2/5 * 15/2 = 2/5 *5/2 w

3 =w
