One side of the rectangle is 6 cm long, the other 25% longer. Find the perimeter and area of this shape.

First, let’s find the side of the rectangle. To do this, translate 6 into percentages and get 0.06. Then add 25% and get 1.5. Now we can find the second side of the rectangle: 1.5 + 6 = 7.5 – (width of the rectangle) Now we find the perimeter (the perimeter is the sum of all lengths and sides): 6 + 6 + 7.5 + 7.5 = 27 … Perimeter = 27. Now find the area (multiply the length by the width): 6 * 7.5 = 45. Area = 45.
Answer: perimeter = 27; area = 45.
