    Area of triangle = 24cm

    Area of rectangle = 120

    therefore, w x 12 = 120

    w = 10

    10cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since the area of the rectangle is 5times the area of the triangle, let us first of all find the area of the triangle.

    From the question, we obtained the following information:

    h = 8cm

    b = 6cm

    Area of triangle = 1/2 x b x h

    Area of triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 8

    Area of triangle = 24cm^2

    But,

    Are of the rectangle = 5times the area of triangle i. e

    Area of rectangle = 5 x 24 = 120cm^2

    Area of rectangle = L x w

    L = 12cm

    Area of rectangle = 120cm^2

    W = ?

    120 = 12 x w

    Divide both side by 12

    W = 120 / 12 = 10cm
