The perimeter of the rectangle is 7.04 m. Its width is 3.4 times less than its length. Find the area of a rectangle?

1. Suppose the width of the rectangle is xm.

2. The length of the rectangle in this case will be (3.4 * x) = 3.4x m.

3. In order to calculate what the width of the rectangle is, write down and solve the equation, since we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 7.04 m.

x + x + 3.4x + 3.4x = 7.04;

8.8x = 7.04;

x = 7.04 / 8.8;

x = 0.8 m.

4. Find out what the length of the given rectangle is equal to.

3.4 * 0.8 = 2.72 m.

5. Calculate the area of the rectangle.

0.8 * 2.72 = 2.176 m ^ 2.

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 2.176 m ^ 2.
