Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>. We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.
We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.
We also know that 330 = x + y.
Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.
Now all we need to do is simplify the equation. First, we subtract 6 from both sides:
330 - 6 = 324
2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.
So we have 324 = 2y. Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:
162 = y
Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:
x = 162 + 6
x = 168
Let's check to make sure our answer is right. 168 is 6 more than 162. 162 + 168 equals 330. So our two numbers are 168 and 162.
Since you're given the base for the perimeter of the rectangle, you can solve this question quickly.
First, you multiply 21 by 2, because there are two bases to a rectangle.
You'll get 42, and you will have to do 60-42 to find the perimeter for the remaining two sides.
60-42 will give you 18, so you can divide that by 2 because there are two other sides, giving you 9.
Now you have the side lengths 21 and 9. Area is base*height, so you can multiply 21*9 and get 189.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 189 meters
