The length of the first rectangle is 12 cm and the area is 48 cm squared. Find the area of the second rectangle

The length of the first rectangle is 12 cm and the area is 48 cm squared. Find the area of the second rectangle, the length of which is 3 cm longer and the width is 2 times greater than the sides of the first rectangle.

Let’s calculate the width of the first rectangle:

48/12 = 2 cm.

Let’s calculate the sides of the second rectangle:

12 + 3 = 15 cm – length.

2 * 2 = 4 cm – width.

Let’s calculate the area of the second rectangle:

15 * 4 = 60 cm².

Answer: the area of the second rectangle is 60 cm².
