The perimeter of the rectangle is 96 m, and it is 8 times larger than one of the sides of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 96 m, and it is 8 times larger than one of the sides of the rectangle. Find the area of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the rectangle is determined by the formula: P = 2a + 2b. He = 96 m and this is 8 times the side, therefore:

b = 96: 8 = 12 m – width.

2 * 12 + 2a = 96,

2a = 96 – 24 = 72,

a = 72: 2 = 36 m – length.

S = a * b = 12 * 36 = 432 m².
