One side of the rectangle is 24 cm long, and the other is 147 cm longer, calculate the area of its rectangle

To solve the problem, you will need knowledge and the ability to use this formula:

Formula for the area of a rectangle: S = a * b, where a is the length of the rectangle, b is the width of the rectangle.

First, we find the second side of the rectangle, we know that it is 147 cm longer than the first side, we get:
a = 24 cm; then side b will be equal to a plus 147 cm.

b = a + 147 = 24 cm + 147 cm = 171 cm.

Now let’s find the area of a rectangle using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
S = a * b = a * (a + 147 cm) = 24 cm * 171 cm = 684 cm ^ 2;

Answer: the area of the rectangle = 684 cm ^ 2.
