The length of the rectangle is 14 cm and the width is one-seventh of the length. Find the area of the rectangle.

Let’s calculate the width of the rectangle by making a proportion and expressing the width of this rectangle in terms of h, and expressing the length of this rectangle in terms of one:

14 cm – 1,

h – 1/7.

h = 14 * 1/7: 1;

h = 14/7: 1;

h = 2: 1;

h = 2 cm – the width of this rectangle.

Formula for the area of a rectangle:

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

Let’s calculate the area of the rectangle:

S = 14 * 2 = 28 cm2 – the area of the rectangle.

Answer: The area of this rectangle is twenty-eight square centimeters.
