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

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

To find the area of a rectangle.

We first need to find the sides of the rectangle.

If the perimeter of 96 m is 8 times more than one side.

So we need to divide (96) by (8):

96: 8 = 12.

Now let’s find the second side.

96: 2 = 48;

48 – 12 = 36.

Now let’s calculate the area of the rectangle, multiply one side by the other.

36 * 12 = 432 m 2.

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 432 m 2.
