The width of the rectangle is 6 cm, which is 75% of its length. Find the area of the rectangle.

1. If the width of the rectangle is 75 percent of its length and is equal to 6 cm, then the length will naturally be equal to 100 percent, and how much it will be in quantitative terms, we calculate by the method of proportions:

75% – 6;

100% – H.

Where from:

X = 6 x 100/75;

X = 8 (cm).

2. Knowing the length and width of this rectangle, we can easily calculate its area by multiplying one by the other:

8 x 6 = 48 (cm²).

Answer: The area of this rectangle is 48 square centimeters.
