The length of the rectangle is 370 cm, it is 90 cm larger than the width. Find the area of the rectangle

The length of the rectangle is 370 cm, it is 90 cm larger than the width. Find the area of the rectangle and express it in square decimeters.

Given:

length – 370 cm;

width – 90 cm less than length;

S =? dm².

Let’s calculate the width, it is known that the length is 90 cm greater than the width:

1) 370 – 90 = 280 (cm)

According to the condition of the problem, we need to find the area and express it in square decimeters. Therefore: 370 cm = 37 dm; 280 cm = 28 in.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel and equal to pairs. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its sides and is calculated by the formula: S = a * b.

2) S = 37 * 28 = 1036 (dm²).

Answer: 1036 dm² is the area of a rectangle.
