The perimeter of the rectangle is 152 cm. Its width is 16 cm. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) Let X be the width of the rectangle.

2) Based on the condition of the problem, we compose the equation:

2 * (16 + X) = 152;

32 + 2 X = 152;

2 X = 152 – 32;

2 X = 120;

X = 60;

3) The area of the rectangle is:

60 * 16 = 960 cm ^ 2;

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 960 cm ^ 2.
