The length of the rectangle is 8 cm. What is 1/6 of the area of the rectangle?

Let the width of the rectangle be x cm.

Length = 8 cm (by condition);

S = a * b, where a is the length, b is the width;

a = 8 cm;

b = x cm;

S = 8 * x = 8x cm.

(1/6) * S = (1/6) * 8x = 8x / 6 = 4x / 3 cm. Sq.

Answer: 4х / 3 cm. Sq.

Explanation: Substitute these values into the formula for finding the area of a rectangle. We divide the found area by 6.
