The rectangle is 2 cm wide and 3 times longer, how many centimeters is this rectangle longer than its width?

1. First, calculate the length of the rectangle. To do this, we will increase the width three times, that is, multiply by 3:

2 x 3 = 6 (cm).

2. Now we can find how many cm the length is greater than the width in this rectangle. To do this, subtract the width from the length:

6 – 2 = 4 (cm).

Answer: the length of this rectangle is 4 centimeters larger than its width.
