The perimeter of the rectangle is 56 cm, and one of its sides is 7 cm. Find the area of the rectangle.

1). Let’s take the second side of the rectangle as X.

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

2 (X + 7) = 56;

X + 7 = 28;

X = 28 – 7 = 21 cm;

3). Let’s calculate the area of the rectangle:

7 * 21 = 147 cm ^ 2

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 147 cm ^ 2.
