The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 cm. The length is 6 cm more than the width. find the area.

Initially, we will compose an equation with which we determine the width of the rectangle.

x + 6 + x + x + 6 + x = 60.

4 x + 12 = 60.

4 x = 60 – 12.

4 x = 48.

x = 48/4.

x = 12 cm – becomes the width of this figure.

Now let’s calculate the length of the figure:

12 cm + 6 cm = 18 cm – becomes the length of the rectangle.

Knowing the length and width, we calculate the area, denoting it with a large letter S.

S = 12 cm * 18 cm = 216 cm2.
