The length of the rectangle is 68 meters and the width is 4 times less. Find the perimeter and area of this rectangle?

Determine the width of the rectangle, if we reduce the length by four times, that is, divide by 4.

1) 68 m / 4 times = 17 m – the length of the indicated figure.

Next, we find out the perimeter – the sum of all four sides of the rectangle, denoting it with a large letter R.

P = 68 m + 68 m + 17 m + 17 m = 136 m + 34 m = 170 m.

Or:

P = 68 m * 2 + 17 m * 2 = 170 m.

Now let’s subtract the area by multiplying the length by the width. The area is indicated by a capital S.

S = 68 m * 17 m = 1156 m2.

Bottom line: the perimeter is 170 m, and the area is 1156 m2.
