Answer:
The area of a triangle is [tex]A\Delta=\frac{1}{2}(base)(height)[/tex]
So, the area of the given triangle is:
[tex]A\Delta=\frac{1}{2}(5)(6)\\A\Delta=\frac{1}{2}(30)\\A\Delta=15cm^2[/tex]
The area of a rectangle is
[tex]A=(length)(width)\\A=(6)w\\A=6wcm^2[/tex]
Once the area of both are the same:
[tex]6w=15\\w=\frac{15}{6} \\w=2.5cm[/tex]
