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

1. In order to answer the question of the problem, you first need to find out what the second side of the rectangle is. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 152 cm, and the length of the known side is 16 cm, so we can find out what the second side is.

P = a + a + b + b, where P is the perimeter, a, b are the sides.

152 = 16 + 16 + b + b;

152 = 32 + 2v;

2c = 152 – 32;

2c = 120;

h = 120/2;

h = 60 cm.

2. Now let’s find out what the area of this rectangle is.

S = 60 * 16 = 960 cm ^ 2.

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