The length of the rectangle is 8 cm. It is 40 mm longer than the width. Find the area of the rectangle.

Determine the width of the rectangle, provided that it is 40 mm less than the length equal to 8 cm:
8 cm – 40 mm = 8 cm – 4 cm = 4 cm. Based on the fact that 1 cm = 10 mm.

The area of such a figure, the opposite sides of which are equal, is calculated by the formula:
S = a * b = 8 * 4 = 32 cm².
