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 S of the rectangle.

Let’s calculate what the length of one of the sides of the indicated figure is equal to in meters, when we know, in accordance with the data from the conditions of our task, that it is eight times less than the value of its perimeter:

96: 8 = 12.

Let’s calculate what the length of the other side of the designated figure is equal to in meters:

96: 2 – 12 = 38 – 12 = 26.

Let’s calculate what the area of the indicated figure will equal in square meters, with the lengths of the sides:

26 * 12 = 312.

Answer: The area of the designated rectangle is 312 m2.
