The perimeter of the rectangle is 36.4 cm, the length of the rectangle is 14.4 cm. Find the area of the rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of all its four sides, or the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of the length and width of the rectangle multiplied by two. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length and width of the rectangle. To answer the question of the problem, you need to know the width of the rectangle.
1. Let’s calculate what the width of the rectangle is.
(36.4 – 14.4 * 2) / 2 = 3.8 centimeters.
2. Find the area of the rectangle.
14.4 * 3.8 = 54.72 square centimeters.
Answer: The area of a rectangle is 54.72 square centimeters.
