The area of the rectangular field is 468cm².
Step-by-step explanation:
If, length is 18cm; width is unknown( let x represent width). Then,
<u>Perimeter of a rectangle</u>= Length + Width+ Length + Width
88= 18 + x + 18 + x
88= 36 + 2x
88-36 =2x
52= 2x
52/2=2x/2
26=x
•x=26cm
<em>The</em><em> </em><em>width</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>rectangle</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>c</em><em>m</em><em>.</em>
<u>Area of a rectangle</u>= Length × Width
=18cm×26cm
= 468cm².
