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

It is known from the condition that the perimeter of the rectangle is 7.04 meters. We also know that its width is 3.4 times less than its length. In order to find the area of a rectangle, we first find the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Let’s denote the width of the rectangle with the variable x meters, then the length can be written as 3.4x meters.

Let’s compose and solve the equation:

2 (x + 3.4x) = 7.04;

4.4x = 3.52;

x = 0.8 m rectangle width, 0.8 * 3.4 = 2.72 m rectangle length.

Now let’s find the area of the rectangle:

S = a * b = 0.8 * 2.72 = 2.176 m2.
