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

Let’s determine how long this rectangle has. if we know that the sum of all its sides is 152 cm, and the width is 16 cm.We make an equation, where:

X is the length;

16 – width;

152 is the sum of the lengths of all sides.

We get:

(X + 16) * 2 = 152;

2X + 32 = 152;

2X = 152 – 32;

2X = 120;

X = 120/2;

X = 60 cm.

2) Determine what area the rectangle known to us occupies if we know that its width is 16 cm, and we found out the length and it was 60 cm.

60 * 16 = 960 cm².

Answer: a rectangle occupies 960 cm² of area.
