The length of the rectangle is 1 m. 3 dm. and it is 6 dm. more width. Calculate the perimeter and area of the rectangle.

Let’s express the length of the rectangle in dm:

1 m 3 dm = 13 dm.

1) Find out the width of the rectangle:

13 – 6 = 7 (dm) – the width of the rectangle.

Formula for finding the area of a rectangle:

S = a * b, where a is the width, b is the length of the rectangle.

2) Determine the area:

13 * 7 = 91 (dm ^ 2) – area.

Formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2 * (a + b).

3) Calculate the perimeter:

2 * (13 + 7) = 2 * 20 = 40 (dm) – perimeter.

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle is 40 dm, and its area is 91 dm ^ 2.
