The width of the rectangle is 6cm. What is the length if the perimeter is 44cm?

1) Determine how many centimeters are the sum of the length and width of the rectangle.

We divide the given perimeter into 2 equal parts.

44/2 = 22 cm.

2) Find the length of the figure.

To do this, subtract the known width of the rectangle from the found sum of the sides.

22 – 6 = 16 cm.

3) To find out the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length and width of the figure between each other.

Thus, we get:

16 * 6 = 96 cm2

Answer: The length of the rectangle is 16 cm, the area of the figure is 96 cm2
