One side of the rectangle is 6 m and the other is 5 m larger. What is the area of the rectangle?

To find the area of a rectangle, let’s first recall the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle.

We will denote the sides of the rectangle by a and b. Then the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle will look like this:

S = a * b.

From the condition, we know that one side of it is 6 meters, and we also know that the length of the second side is 5 meters longer than the first.

The prefix “on” means that we have to do the addition:

6 + 5 = 11 meters.

S = a * b = 6 * 11 = 66 square meters.
