The width of the rectangle is 28 cm and the length is 8.7 cm of the width. Find the area of the rectangle.

Before determining the area of the rectangle, we will find how many centimeters its length is.

To do this, we multiply the known value of the width by the given part, which, according to the condition of the problem, is equal to 8/7.

Will be:

28 * 8/7 = 4 * 8 = 32 cm.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its width by its length.

Will be:

28 * 32 = 896 cm2

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 896 cm2
