The rectangle is 8 centimeters and the width is 3 centimeters. What is 1/6 of the area of the rectangle.

First, determine the area of the rectangle by multiplying its length by width.
The area is denoted by a capital S.
S = 8cm * 3cm = 24cm2.
The fraction 1/6 indicates to us that the total area of the rectangle must be divided into six equal parts – then we can find out how many centimeters 1/6 of the area of the specified figure becomes:
24 cm2 / 6 pieces = 4 cm – 1/6 of the area.
To summarize: one sixth of the area of a rectangle is four centimeters.
