One side of the rectangle is 8cm, this is 3cm larger than the other side. Calculate the area of the rectangle.

a =?. b + 3 cm.

b = 8 cm.

S =?.

The area of a rectangle whose opposite sides are equal is calculated by the formula:

S = a * b.

Substitute the values from the condition, and write the expression:

S = (8 + 3) * 8. Proceeding in order, find the value in parentheses, then perform the multiplication:

S = 11 * 8 = 88 cm².
