The perimeter of the rectangle is 76 cm. Find its area if the width is less than the length by 4 cm.

1) Determine how much more the sum of the two sides of the rectangle is.

4 * 2 8 cm.

2) Let’s find out what the total amount would be all sides of the rectangle if they were equal.

76 – 8 = 68 cm.

3) We find out the width of the rectangle if we found out that with their equal length, the total sum of the lengths would be 68 cm.

68/4 = 17 cm.

4) Determine the length of the rectangle if we know that it is 4 cm longer than its width.

17 + 4 = 21 cm.

5) Find the area.

21 * 17 = 357 cm².

Answer: the area of the rectangle we know was 357 cm².
