The sides of the rectangle are 4 and 6 cm. Find the third part of the area of the rectangle.

In order to find the area of a rectangle, you need to find the product of its two adjacent sides. S = a * b, where a is the length and b is the width. We calculate what the area of a rectangle with sides of 4 cm and 6 cm is equal to.

S = 4 * 6 = 24 cm².

Let’s calculate what is the third of the area. To do this, multiply part 1/3 by the area of 24.

24 * 1/3 = 24/3 = 8 cm².

Answer: 8 cm².
