One side of the rectangle is 2 1/8 m and the other is 39/56 m less, calculate the area of the rectangle.

Find the length of the second side of this rectangle. According to the condition of the problem, one side of this rectangle is 2 1/8 m, and the other is 39/56 m less, therefore, the length of the second side of this rectangle is: 17/8 – 39/56 = 119 / 56 – 39/56 = 80/56 = 10/7 m Find the area S of this rectangle as the product of the length and width of this rectangle: S = 17/8 * 10/7 = (17 * 10) / (7 * 8) = 170/56 = 85/28 = 3 1/28 m².

Answer: The area of this rectangle is 3 1/28 m².
