The rectangle is 6 cm wide and 75 percent longer than the width. Find the area of the rectangle

1. To find the length, you need to find 75 percent of the width and add the found value to the width:

6 cm – 100%;

x – 75%.

By proportion, we get:

x = (6 * 75) / 100 = 4.5 cm.

Length = 6 + 4.5 = 10.5 cm.

2. The area of the rectangle is equal to the product of length and width:

4.5 * 10.5 = 47.25 cm ^ 2.

Answer: the area of the rectangle is 47.25 cm ^ 2.
