The length and width of the rectangle together are 1dm, and the width is 4cm. Find the area of this rectangle?

The semi-perimeter of a rectangle, that is, its length and width together are 1 dm, but, according to the specification, the width is 4 cm.Let’s find the length:

x + 4 = 10. (assuming that 1 dm = 10 cm).

The first term is the difference between the sum and the second:

x = 10 – 4 = 6 cm.

The area of the rectangle is calculated by the formula:

S = a * b = 4 * 6 = 24 cm².
