In a rectangle, one side is 5 and the perimeter is 32 find the area of the rectangle.

In order to find the area of any rectangle, you need to know the length of its sides. Suppose the length of the unknown side of the given rectangle is x. By the condition of the problem, the perimeter is 32, which means we can make the following equation:

2 * (x + 5) = 32,

x + 5 = 32: 2,

x + 5 = 16,

x = 16 – 5,

x = 11.

Now, knowing the length of the sides of the rectangle, we can find its area. As you know, it is equal to the product of the lengths of the sides of the rectangle:

S = 11 * 5,

S = 55.

Answer: 55.
