The length of one side of the rectangle is 2 cm, which is one third of the length
The length of one side of the rectangle is 2 cm, which is one third of the length of the other side. Calculate the perimeter and area of this rectangle.
Find what is the length of the second side of this rectangle.
In the problem statement, it is said that the length of the first side of this rectangle is 2 cm, which is one third of the length of its second side.
Therefore, the second side of this rectangle is 3 times larger than its first side and is 2 * 3 = 6 cm.
Find the sum of the lengths of the sides of this rectangle:
2 + 6 = 8 cm.
We find what the perimeter of this rectangle is equal to:
2 * 8 = 16 cm.
We find what the area of this rectangle is equal to:
2 * 6 = 12 cm ^ 2.
Answer: the perimeter of this rectangle is 16 cm, the area of this rectangle is 12 cm ^ 2.
