Find the area of a rectangle that is 5 m long and 2 m less wide.

We are given a rectangle with sides: 5 m, and the second side is 2 less.

Let’s find the second side:

1) 5 – 2 = 3 m. The width of the rectangle.

You need to calculate the area. To do this, we will use the formula:

S = a x b. Where a, b are the sides of the rectangle.

Let’s calculate the area:

S = a x b = 5 x 3 = 15 cm² – the area of this rectangle.

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 15 cm².
