The rectangle is 8cm long and 1.5cm shorter in width. Find the area of the rectangle.

Given:

a = 8 cm,

b = (8 – 1.5) cm.

Find – S.

Solution.

By determining the area of a rectangle:

S = a * b, where a is the length of the rectangle, b is the width of the rectangle, S is the area of the rectangle with the given length and width.

Substitute numerical values into the formula and find the area:

S = 8 * (8 – 1.5) = 8 * 6.5 = 52 (cm ^ 2).

Answer: S = 52 cm ^ 2.
