Find the area of a rectangle, one side of which is 21 cm, and the other side is three times smaller.

By the statement of the problem, we know that the length of one side of the rectangle is 21 centimeters. Let’s find the second side, knowing that it is 3 times smaller. To do this, we will reduce the length of the first side by three times:

21/3 = 7 centimeters.

Find the area of the rectangle. To do this, multiply the length of one side by the length of the other:

21 * 7 = 147 cm2.

Conclusion: the area of the rectangle is 147 square centimeters.
