The width of the rectangle is 3 cm shorter than its length, and their sum is 27 cm. Find the area of the rectangle

Subtract the difference from the sum of the length and width, so to speak, equalize them.
27 – 3 = 24.
This is twice the width, divide by 2 and find the width of the straight line.
24: 2 = 12 – width
12 + 3 = 15 -length
The area is equal to the product of the sides.
S = 12 * 15 = 180 cm ^ 2
Answer: 180 cm ^ 2
