The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 cm and one of its sides is 5 cm. Find the area of the rectangle and draw it.

The perimeter is the sum of all sides of a polygon (in this case, a rectangle). The perimeter is 24 cm, and one of its sides is 5 cm (for example, the width). Since the rectangle has opposite sides, we can conclude that another of its width is 5 cm.
24 – 5 – 5 = 14 cm – the sum of the two lengths of the rectangle.
To find one of them, you need to divide the given number by 2.
14: 2 = 7 cm – length.
Area is the product of length and width.
We get: 7 * 5 = 35 cm² – the area of the rectangle.
Answer: 35 cm².
