The length of 2/3 of one side of the rectangle is 16 cm, and the length of 25% of the other side is 14 cm.

The length of 2/3 of one side of the rectangle is 16 cm, and the length of 25% of the other side is 14 cm. Find the area of the rectangle.

In order to find the length and width of the rectangle, you need to make up the proportions:

1) 2/3 = 16 cm

3/3 = x cm.

x cm = 16 * 3/3: 2/3;

x = 16 * 3/3 * 3/2;

x = 24 (cm) – the length of one side of the rectangle;

2) 25% = 14 cm

100% = x cm.

x cm = 14 * 100: 25;

x = 56 (cm) – the width of the other side of the rectangle;

In order to find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the width by the length.

3) 24 * 56 = 1344 (cm ^ 2) – the area of the rectangle.

Answer: 1344 cm ^ 2 area of a rectangle.
