Draw a rectangle that is 6 cm long and 2 times shorter in width. Find its side and area.

Calculate the width of the rectangle by halving its length, that is, dividing 6 centimeters by the number 2.

6 cm / 2 = 3 cm – is the width of a rectangular figure.

So, we need to draw a rectangle, the length of which is 6 cm, and the width is 3 cm.

Next, we calculate the area of this rectangular shape by multiplying the length by the width. The area will be denoted by the letter S.

S = 6cm * 3cm = 18cm2.

To summarize: the unknown side of the rectangle is 3 cm, and its area is 18 cm2.
