Find the area of a rectangle if its width is 8 cm and the perimeter is 60 cm.

1) A rectangle is a quadrangle in which two opposite sides are equal and all four corners are the same.
The area of a rectangle is the space bounded by the sides of the rectangle, that is, within the perimeter of the rectangle.
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the rectangle.

2) b = 8 cm, P = 60 cm, so P = 2 (a + b) = 2 (a + 8); 60 = 2a + 16. We express a. We get: a = 22 cm. 3) a = 22 cm, b = 8 cm, so S = 22 * 8 = 176 cm ^ 2. Answer: 176 cm ^ 2.
