The length of one side of the rectangle is 12 cm, and the length of the other side is 4 cm less. Calculate the area of the rectangle.

1. Find the length of the second side of the rectangle, for this we subtract 4 cm from the length of the known side:

12 – 4 = 8 (cm).

2. Find the area of the rectangle by the formula:

S = ab, where S is the area, a and b are the sides of the rectangle.

S = 8 * 12 = 96 (cm2).

Answer: 96 cm2 is the area of a rectangle.
