The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 and one side is 6 larger than the other. Find the area of the rectangle.

The first step is to designate the width of the rectangle as “x” cm, then the length is equal to (x + 3) cm. Knowing that the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 centimeters, we create an equation.

(x + x + 3) * 2 = 60;

2x + 3 = 60/2;

2x + 3 = 30;

2x = 30 – 3;

2x = 27;

x = 13.5 cm.

We calculate what the length of the rectangle is, knowing that the width is 13.5 cm.

13.5 + 6 = 19.5 cm.

We calculate what the area of a given rectangle is, knowing that to find it, you need to multiply the length by the width.

S = 19.5 * 13.5 = 263.25 cm².

Answer: 263.25 cm².
